A woman whose husband constantly threatens to send her back to her parents' home whenever they have a disagreement, and this is common when spouses disagree

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: O honorable Shaykh, a woman's husband constantly threatens to send her back to her parents' home whenever they have a disagreement, and this is common when spouses disagree. So what is your advice, O honorable Shaykh, in this situation for one who is in this state, especially since Allah (Exalted and Majestic) has forbidden a woman to leave her husband's house, even if it is a divorce?

The Shaykh : My advice to these men is: that they be men, as they are, and that they have control over themselves, and that they do not submit to anger. A man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
advise me.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Do not get angry.” The man repeated that several times and he replied, “Do not get angry.”أوصني. قال : لا تغضب فردد مراراً قال : لا تغضب
Bulugh al-Maram 16:56
. Then, the remedy for disagreement between spouses is not to drive her out of the house to her parents; this only increases the severity of the matter. Rather, what he should do is be kind to his wife and forgive her faults. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A believing man should not hate a believing woman لا يفرك مؤمن مؤمنة
Sahih Muslim 1468b
"He does not dislike" means: he does not hate and he does not detest
A believing man and a believing woman مؤمن مؤمنة
if he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another. إن كره منها خلقاً رضي منها خلقاً آخر
Sahih Muslim 1468b
. And what should be is that a man be a man in the truest sense. Who is it that forgets the good deeds when one bad deed occurs? Who is it that forgets the good deeds when one bad deed occurs to him? The woman. Do you want to lower yourself to the level of a woman? If you see one bad thing from her, you say: "I have never seen any good from her." Therefore, I advise our brothers that if problems or misunderstandings occur between them and their wives, the man should be patient and endure, and treat the woman as she deserves, in accordance with what the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) advised. He said:
They were created from a rib, and the most crooked part of the rib is its top. If you try to straighten it, you will break it, and if you enjoy it, you will enjoy it despite its crookedness. إنهن خلقن من ضلع، وإن أعوج شيء في الضلع أعلاه، فإن ذهبت تقيمها كسرتها، وإن استمتعت بها استمتعت بها على عوج
. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. And I am confident that if a man obeys Allah and His Messenger in his treatment of his family, Allah the Exalted will turn the enmity and hatred in her heart into loyalty and love. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:
And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and وَلا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلا السَّيِّئَةُ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ
[Fussilat 41:34]
complete
as though he was a devoted friend. كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ
[Fussilat 41:34]
. Hearts are in the hand of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Repel with that which is best, and things will change. Yes.
