Is a wife obliged to obey her husband in refraining from calling to God through Paltalk rooms, knowing that he does not pray and prevents her from doing so fearing discord, and is calling to God an individual obligation upon her?
Calling to Allah is obligatory upon men and women, each according to their capacity. However, a woman's online conversations with men often serve as a pretext for evil and corruption. If a husband prohibits his wife from this due to fear for her from temptation (fitnah), he has the right to do so, and she must obey him, because he is commanded to safeguard his honor and protect his family. He is her guardian (qawwim) and responsible for her. It is preferable that a woman calls women like her, and a man calls men, as this is better and safer.
