The ruling on a wife refusing her husband's order on the grounds of custom

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: He orders his wife to do certain things, but she does not do them, claiming that this is not their custom. He asks: Does she have the right to do this?

Answer:
She does not have the right to disobey her husband if he orders her to do something that does not involve disobedience to Allah. If it does not involve disobedience, she should obey him for the sake of good marital relations, provided she is able to do what he ordered her to do, and it is not a sin. Yes.
