The Ruling on a Wife Serving Her Husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it true that it is not among the obligatory duties and rights of a husband that his wife serves him, unless this is stipulated in the marriage contract?
Answer:
And the jurists say, but if we look at the wives of the Companions in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we find that they served their husbands. The women of the Companions served them. Even Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), used to work in her home, carrying the water skin until the rope of the skin left a mark on her neck. Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, served her husband, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib. Asma' bint Abi Bakr served al-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam. So the women of the Companions served their husbands, yes.

May Allah reward you.
