Is a wife's enabling of her husband obligatory only for intercourse, or does it include enabling him for foreplay and kissing outside the bed, and is a wife's refusal to do so forbidden?
The wife's obedience to her husband and enabling him to enjoy her is among his greatest rights over her, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses to come, the angels curse her until morning," and his saying (peace be upon him): "A woman does not fulfill all of Allah's right upon her until she fulfills all of her husband's right upon her, even if he asks for herself while she is on the back of a camel, she should give it to him." Her obedience to him includes matters related to marriage and its ancillary aspects. This includes: compelling her to perform after menstruation, post-natal bleeding (), and ritual impurity (janaba); refraining from eating pork and drinking intoxicants; removing anything that repels from complete enjoyment; preventing her from leaving without his permission; using medication to prevent pregnancy; and expelling a fertilized ovum (nutfa) that has settled in the womb.
