Advice for husbands regarding helping their wives obey Allah, especially in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: Some husbands, Honorable Shaykh, actually burden their wives with the default rulings and calling people during Ramadan, which causes them to lose out on reciting the Qur'an and praying with the Muslims. What do you advise such husbands?
The Shaykh : What a husband should do is be a helper to his wife in obeying Allah.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : That is part of good treatment, and he is also rewarded for this if he helps her obey Allah. As for keeping her occupied with something that has no benefit, especially in the noble times like Ramadan, he is truly deprived. However, as for her, if her husband tasks her with something that is customary, she is in a good state, even if she leaves off the prayer or reading the Qur'an, because obeying the husband in what is not disobedience to Allah and in what is customary is required.
