How should a man deal with his wife's intense jealousy, and is he permitted to strike her?

The questioner : What is the man's position regarding this?

The Shaykh : He should seek help from Allah against it. But because of this woman. And if aggression occurs, even if its cause is jealousy, as I saw Aisha break the plate, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not rebuke her. Rather, he should reassure her, admonish her, and say, "Look, there is no need for such intense jealousy; look, this tires you out," and the like. One cannot control jealousy; a person can never defend against it. He cannot.

The questioner : What is the form of this?

The Shaykh : Yes, what? For example, if the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had struck her in this incident. He struck her. Because he was not with you.

The questioner : If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was close to Aisha in this, other than this, how would it be, meaning?

The Shaykh : The Messenger did not rebuke him, not even with his tongue.

The questioner : Yes, the first one.

The Shaykh : And with my tongue, how would he want to make a mistake?

The questioner : How if a person did it like this?

The Shaykh : No, by Allah, he would sin, because gray hair is not a choice of the person at all. For this reason, perhaps she is called upon to die, and she does not want to die, all because of his gray hair. That is, it is mentioned to us stories of the issue of women's jealousy, some of them upon each other, something strange, which no one does except a madman. Perhaps, yes.
