The wife’s refusal of her husband due to illness

Question:
And the matter is that if the wife refuses the maidservants because she has been given relief by Allah, and this is for some of the days, and the husband is tending to the maidservants of the husband’s household, that he should force her,

Answer:
No, if she is excused due to illness, this is harmful to her. He has no right to compel her; rather, he should be patient, just as she should be patient if he were ill and refused intercourse with her for more than four months. We would say: Be patient. This is an excused condition. Complain to Allah. You must be patient. Likewise, the reverse: if she is ill and cannot bear intercourse, he should be patient. This is part of treating one another with kindness: each one should consider the other’s condition and not burden them with what is difficult for them. Yes.
