The answer

The fundamental principle regarding speaking with men about religious matters is permissibility, provided that Islamic guidelines are observed, such as not uncovering 'awrah (intimate parts), not softening the speech, and avoiding (private seclusion). This is supported by the fact that the Mothers of the Believers taught the Companions.

Spouses must cooperate in obedience to Allah, and the primary responsibility for teaching goodness to his family falls upon the husband, as Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire" and "And enjoin prayer upon your family."

To help the wife strengthen her faith, one can provide her with righteous female companions who are committed to Islam, or utilize modern technologies such as religious channels, websites, and audio recordings.
