A wife’s service to her husband in cooking, washing, and cleaning

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for a wife to cook, wash, and clean for her husband?

Answer:
Do not look into these matters. They say, “No, it is not upon her, it is not upon her.” But the correct view is that it is upon her, because Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)—Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad—used to do the housework and carry the water jar until it affected her neck. She came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asking for a servant to help her, but he did not give her one (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: the poor ones, meaning their bellies are folded from hunger. So if the daughter of Muhammad, the best of women in the worlds, did the housework and carried the water jar, and the Messenger did not give her a servant from the public treasury, then others are all the more so.
Asma’ bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her), one of the best of the women of the Companions, used to serve and go out to bring fodder from the forest for the horse, and bring the chaff for the horse of al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam. So the women of the Companions used to work in the farms and in the date palms, and this is something known among Muslims. So how do we say the woman is not required to do it? But the jurists say, “No, it is not upon her; it is upon her to enjoy [her husband] and, for example, to prepare herself for her husband only.” Yes.
