The husband's dealing with his wife's marital defiance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the wife does not obey her husband's commands in a good manner, and when he orders her to do good, should he boycott her, or should he divorce her?
Answer:
It follows what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) mentioned regarding those whose marital defiance is feared: "Admonish them." One begins by admonishing her and advising her. If she does not comply, he boycotts her in the bed, boycotting them in their beds. If that does not benefit her, let him strike her with a non-harmful strike, "and strike them." Yes.
