The questioner : Her other question says: If a woman asks her husband for divorce so many times because of the severity of his beating and humiliation of her, does she bear any sin, even though she endures a great deal for the sake of her children, and then acts as if nothing happened?
The Shaykh : Our answer to this question is to say: First, it is not permissible for the husband to humiliate his wife or to beat her, except within the limits of the Shari'ah that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has permitted, such as His saying:[An-Nisa 4:34] Then, it is not permissible for him to humiliate her with offensive and shameful words either; rather, he must discipline her in the manner that Allah and His Messenger have directed.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If this woman is upright and the husband harms her and treats her badly, there is no blame on her in that case to ask him for divorce, even if she has children from him. This is because she has witnessed treatment that this husband is not permitted to do. However, the husband must fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and remember the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:34] so that he may remember the exaltation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) over him, and remember that Allah the Exalted is greater than he is, and greater than everything [Al-Jathiyah 45:37].
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So he must remember the exaltation and greatness of Allah the Exalted, so that this serves as a warning to him against being arrogant toward this woman and being haughty with her.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Her third question says: If a person enters the state of ihram and intends to perform 'Umrah, but the circumstances do not allow it due to the tightness of time, does he owe anything for that?
The Shaykh : So, repeat the question?
The Shaykh : Our answer to this question is to say: First, it is not permissible for the husband to humiliate his wife or to beat her, except within the limits of the Shari'ah that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has permitted, such as His saying:
But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
وَاللَّاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلا تَبْغُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيًّا كَبِيرًاThe questioner : Yes.

وَلَهُ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُThe questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So he must remember the exaltation and greatness of Allah the Exalted, so that this serves as a warning to him against being arrogant toward this woman and being haughty with her.
