Boycotting the husband or the wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: If a wife becomes angry with her husband for a worldly reason and cuts off communication and companionship with him for a specific period lasting days, what is the ruling on that? And is there a word about the rights of the husband over his wife?

Answer: It is obligatory for the wife to obey her husband in what is right, and it is not permissible for her to boycott him except for a legitimate religious reason. He, too, must treat her with kindness and not boycott her except for a religious matter. This is based on the saying of Allah (Mighty and Majestic): :
And live with them in kindnessوَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
[Surat al-Nisa: 19] and His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He):
And 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].وَلَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ
[Al-Baqarah 2:228]
the verse [Surat al-Baqarah: 228].
And based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Treat women with kindnessاستوصوا بالنساء خيرًا
. And success is from Allah.
