Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Does a husband boycotting his wife fall under the hadith that limits the duration of the boycott to three days? And when is it permissible for a husband to boycott his wife for more than three days?
Answer:
This is a sin. A husband boycotting his wife due to her marital defiance is a boycott for the sake of a sin, not for worldly matters, because marital defiance is a sin. So he boycotts her until she repents[An-Nisa 4:34] until she repents from her defiance.

Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
