Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother Salim also asks, saying: Perhaps you have some advice for the woman to preserve the rights of her husband and obey him, since some women in this time have shown negligence toward their husbands?
Answer:
Yes, the husband has a right over his wife to good treatment, and that she obey him in what is not disobedience to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1159Hasan (Darussalam) He is the one whose right is great over her. It is obligatory for the woman to treat her husband with kindness and in the best manner, just as it is obligatory for him to do so. Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:228] Yes.

Answer:
Yes, the husband has a right over his wife to good treatment, and that she obey him in what is not disobedience to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If I were to order anyone to prostrate to anyone, then I would order the wife to prostrate to her husband.
لو كنت آمرا أحدا أن يسجد لأحد لأمرت المرأة أن تسجد لزوجهاAnd due to the wives is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable. But the men have a degree over them [in responsibility and authority]. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
