Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: Her husband calls her for intercourse, but she does not respond to him because she has no desire for it, so she advises him to fast. Is this permissible for her, and is this refusal permissible?

Answer:
This is marital defiance (nushuz) and a sin for which she will be punished. There is a warning for the one whose husband calls her and she refuses. This is defiance and disobedience; it is not permissible for her to do this. Yes.
