Does a wife sin if she disobeys her husband?
The wife commits a grave sin if she refuses her husband's bed because she has disobeyed the command of Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) encouraged and desired women to obey their husbands. Among his sayings are: "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone, I would have commanded the woman to prostrate to her husband," and "By Him in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, a woman does not fulfill the right of her Lord until she fulfills the entire right of her husband," and "If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning."
The man, however, must observe his wife's rights and fear Allah concerning her, as Allah Almighty said: {And due to them is similar to what is due from them, in a reasonable manner.} So, if each spouse fulfills the right of the other, they will live a good life.
