The Ruling on a Woman’s Disobedience to Her Husband

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The stubborn woman from Jeddah asks: What are the consequences for a woman who does not obey her husband? And what is the ruling of the Shari'ah in this matter?

Answer:
This is a woman who is defiant, and she faces a severe warning. If she spends the night with her husband angry at her, then those in the heavens curse her, as stated in the hadith:
It is not permissible for herفلا يجوز لها
It is not permissible for her to disobey her husband in the rights he is entitled to, nor is it permissible for her to ask him for a divorce without a valid reason. Whoever asks her husband for a divorce without a valid reason, the fragrance of Paradise is forbidden to her, as stated in the hadith:
And the husband’s right over his wifeوحق الزوج على امرأته
This is a great right. He said:
God’s Messenger as saying, “If I were to order anyone to prostrate himself before another, I would order a woman to prostrate herself before her husband.صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم لَو كُنْتُ آمُرُ أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَة أَن تسْجد لزَوجهَا من عظم حقه عليها.
