Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man asks, saying: Is it obligatory for a wife to obey her husband when he calls her to the bed, if she refuses for an excuse, whether due to her illness, because she is exhausted, or otherwise?
Answer:
It is obligatory for her to respond to her husband, even if she is on a donkey, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, unless there is a barrier for her, in which case she informs him of it. She informs him of it. As for if she is healthy and he calls her, it is obligatory for her to respond to him; this is his right over her. Yes.
