Are there any Prophetic Hadiths that encourage cleanliness of homes, and what is the intention a woman should have when cleaning her home to be rewarded for her effort and time?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Cleaning homes is a characteristic of believers, and Allah is good and loves goodness, clean and loves cleanliness, generous and loves generosity, munificent and loves munificence. Therefore, courtyards should be cleaned, and one should not imitate the Jews. A woman who cleans her house, intending thereby to do what Allah loves, and does what is characteristic of believers, and avoids imitating disbelievers, will be rewarded for that, just as she is rewarded for serving and obeying her husband.
