Is it permissible to refrain from prayer, or to make it contingent upon the husband’s approval, after having sworn not to leave the house without his knowledge?

Prayer holds a great status in Islam, and it is the first thing a Muslim will be held accountable for. Allah has threatened those who abandon prayer with severe punishment. Abandoning it out of denial of its obligation is considered disbelief (kufr) by the consensus of scholars. However, abandoning it out of laziness does not lead to disbelief according to the majority of scholars, unlike the Hanbalis. A woman must observe prayer at its appointed time, and she is not required to seek her husband's permission for prayer, nor is she obliged to obey him if he tells her to abandon it. If she takes a yamin (definition) ghamus (a false oath taken by someone about a past matter, knowing that they are lying), she must repent from it. There is no expiation for it according to the majority of scholars, but it is obligatory according to the Shafi'is and one narration from the Hanbalis. The expiation for an oath is feeding ten needy people, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. Fasting is not sufficient unless one is unable to do any of these types.
