Is a woman from the People of the Book obligated to perform the full ritual bath from major ritual impurity, or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh: Is a woman from the People of the Book obligated to perform the full ritual bath from major ritual impurity?
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
If her husband requests it from her, she is obligated according to the correct opinion. Even though this does not benefit her, because she will not pray, it benefits her husband with regard to intercourse with her. If he compels her to perform the full ritual bath, it is obligatory for her to perform it. Some scholars said that she is not obligated, but the stronger position is that she is obligated due to the husband's right.
