A woman fasting voluntarily without her husband's permission

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman stays up late and then stays in the city for a short time, and it is her habit to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, but she did not fast and did not break her fast, knowing that her husband advised her to break her fast, but she did not break it, does she get reward?

Answer:
If her husband is present, she is not allowed to fast voluntarily without his permission. I mean, if her husband is present with her, she is not allowed to fast voluntarily without his permission, because he has the right to enjoy her, so she does not fast without his permission. Voluntary fasting, voluntary fasting, requires his permission. If he forbids her from fasting, she is not allowed to fast, because obedience to the husband is obligatory, and fasting here is a recommended practice, and the obligatory takes precedence. If her husband forbids her from fasting, it is not permissible for her to fast. Yes.
