Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We move on to a message sent by a listener of this program. In this message, she says: Honorable Shaykh, I am a married woman with children, praise be to Allah. I suffer from chronic inflammation of the uterus since my first pregnancy. She says: When my husband invites me to the bed, I refuse strongly because of the severe pain I suffer, which makes me cry. My husband sleeps while being displeased with me, even though I asked him to treat me, but he neglects that by saying, "If Allah wills." She says: It has been more than three years in this state, and she complains about it. Does she fall under the ruling of the woman whose husband invites her to the bed and she refuses, and he sleeps while angry with her, so the angels curse her until morning? What advice do you give her? If she is truthful
Answer:
In what she says, if intercourse harms her clearly, then she is excused and does not sin by it, because she is excused in this. It is obligatory for her or for her husband to treat this illness until it is removed from her. So she should be treated until this illness is removed from her, so that she is able to fulfill the right of her husband and respond to him. Yes.
