Advice for a woman who has boycotted her husband in the bedroom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Finally, he asks and says: What do we do with a woman who has boycotted her husband in the bedroom for about seven years, and she is not willing to speak to him or ask about him if he is sick?
Answer: There is no power and no strength except with Allah. This is a bad situation; we ask Allah for well-being. However, if he is satisfied with her and forgiving of her, there is nothing wrong with it. Otherwise, it is obligatory for her to obey her husband and not boycott him except for a legitimate Shari'ah reason. If she boycotted him because he abandoned prayer, or because he did something that necessitates his disbelief and apostasy from Islam, such as insulting the religion or mocking the religion, or if she boycotted him because he did not provide for her maintenance and did not give her her rights, then she has a right to do so. But if she boycotted him without any reason, this is not permissible for her. Rather, it is obligatory for her to fulfill his rights and to listen and obey him in the bedroom and elsewhere. He has the right to demand this from her, and he has the right to refer her case to the Shari'ah judge, or to her father or her brothers, so that they can enforce upon her what is obligatory if she does not agree to any matter regarding money or the like. As for if they satisfy her with some money and the situation becomes stable, praise be to Allah.
The result is that this varies. If she boycotted him because of his disbelief and misguidance, or his cursing of the religion, or his abandoning of prayer, or because he did not give her her rights and did not provide for her, then she is excused. But if she boycotted him without a legitimate Shari'ah excuse, this matter is dealt with either by money, satisfying her with money, or through her father and brothers, or through the court, or by divorcing her, and Allah will give her a better one than him. These are matters that are dealt with if the boycott is without right, either by divorce or by other means as he is able. She commits a sin if her boycott is without right. She should fear Allah, and she should return to obeying her husband in a good manner and fulfill his rights, if he has fulfilled her rights and there is no reason for her to boycott him. We ask Allah for guidance for everyone. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
