Is it obligatory for the husband to buy clothes for his wife and to have her treated if she falls ill?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: I mean, O our Shaykh, as Shaykh al-'Ujaylan mentioned, that a man, for example, is not required to buy her clothes, or if she falls ill, he is not required to have her treated.
The Shaykh: Who mentioned this?
The questioner: Shaykh al-'Ujaylan in one of his lessons, the lessons of al-Masjid al-Haram.
The Shaykh: Which Shaykh?
The questioner: Al-'Ujaylan.
The Shaykh: Shaykh al-'Ujaylan.
The questioner: Ah, al-'Ujaylan.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: And he said, meaning he mentioned an analogy to the one who rents a house; if the wall of the rented house collapses or something happens, he is not required to repair it.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The questioner: Is this statement correct, my Shaykh? Is it not correct?
Another questioner: Even according to one of the schools of jurisprudence, O our Shaykh, this does not exist.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner: I mean, it implies that treating her is his responsibility, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: How do the schools of jurisprudence differ? The later Shafi'is say: if the wife smokes, the husband must buy her tobacco. Look at how much difference there is between these and those.
The questioner: The Hanafis or the Shafi'is?
The Shaykh: The Shafi'is.
The student: And the Hanafis say, Shaykh, buy her a servant so she does not have to cook or knead.
The Shaykh: Yes, and she does not have to make the bed.
The student: God is Great, of course, the women will take advantage of them.
The Shaykh: Yes, by Allah.
The student: From their description, when a woman speaks like this, if she is knowledgeable, she will say, "By Allah, my school is Hanafi."
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : There is no god but Allah.
The student: This one says, meaning, if she asks him for clothes to go out, he says, "I did not bring you to go out, I brought you to the house. If you want to go out, bring clothes for yourself to go out in."
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The student: The service is upon you, heh.
