Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My wife is boycotting me in the bedroom because I did not renew the internet contract, as she leaves the children unsupervised and they access forbidden websites. What is your advice to me and to her in this matter?
Answer:
She is not boycotting you; boycotting is in the man’s hand, he is the one who boycotts her,[An-Nisa 4:34]. But that she turns away from you, this falls under the category of marital defiance. She is defiant and disobedient. You must inform her of this. Yes.

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.
