Are a wife's deeds accepted if her husband wrongs her and she refrains from speaking to him, by analogy with the wife who wrongs her husband, whose deeds are not accepted?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah has established rights and duties for each spouse, and He has made the husband's right more emphasized. Therefore, it is not permissible for a wife to refuse her husband's bed without a legitimate excuse, even if the husband has erred. Errors vary; a husband striking his wife is not the same as disciplining her with words or by shunning. If a wife abandons her husband's bed, the angels curse her. The wife should avoid anything that angers her husband.
