Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is your opinion on this saying? If you obey your wife in disobedience to Allah, you have worshipped her instead of Allah and made her an idol.
Answer:
Yes. Ah. Obedience to a creation in disobedience to the Creator is a type of worship, a type of worship, shirk (associating partners with Allah), shirk of obedience. They call this shirk of obedience, but it is not the major shirk that takes one out of the religion. However, it is a type of shirk. You must not obey anyone in disobedience to Allah, neither the wife nor anyone else. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-An'am 6:121] This is shirk of obedience, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
