The answer

Allah Almighty has made it obligatory upon the wife to obey her husband in matters that conform to Islamic law, and to fulfill her duties towards him, her home, and her children. For she is a shepherdess and is responsible for what she has been entrusted with. She must fear Allah, obey her husband, and safeguard what Allah Almighty has entrusted her with. Furthermore, the wife must cease listening to unlawful songs, and the husband must prevent her from doing so. This is part of his complete responsibility towards her, as Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones."
