Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for a man to help his wife in the house? Some people consider this work a defect and say that housework is for women only.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that; in fact, this is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did. He used to work in his home with his family and help them, (peace and blessings be upon him). This is not a defect; rather, it is an act of humility and cooperation among the members of the household.
