What is the ruling on a wife threatening her husband by saying, "I will make you spin around yourself; I will make you like shoes" after 23 years of marriage?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A wife addressing her husband with inappropriate language is a sign of ill-manners and disrespect for him. There is a warning for a woman who unjustly harms her husband.

The wife must fear Allah and stop overstepping her bounds with her husband, and acknowledge his rights and position.

As for the husband, he must know that married life requires patience and overlooking mistakes, balancing good and bad aspects, and not impulsively reacting, as Allah Almighty says: {And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good} [An-Nisa: 19].

And as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "No believing man should hate a believing woman. If he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another." And "Patience with women's tongues is among the trials that saints endure."
