Does a husband have the right to prevent his wife from fasting voluntary fasts?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If my wife fasts voluntary fasts, such as Mondays, Thursdays, and the white days, do I have the right to prevent her?

Answer:
If this interferes with her conduct toward you and you need her, it is not permissible for her to fast without your permission. It is not permissible for a woman to fast a voluntary fast while her husband is present, meaning he is there, without his permission. Yes.
