Is a man cursed if his wife calls him to bed and he refuses to respond?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is obligatory for a husband to ensure his wife's chastity and to respond to her call to bed when she needs it. It is not permissible for him to abandon this unless there is a legitimate impediment or excuse. The preponderant view is that the obligatory frequency is determined by her needs and his ability. He is sinful if he does not do so. As for the statement that he is cursed if he does not respond to her, that is unknown and no one has reported it.
