The question

Is a husband entitled to compare his wife's cleanliness in her home to that of his mother and sister, knowing that the wife is recognized by her family for her cleanliness, and that this matter is relative and varies from one family to another, especially since those he is comparing her to neglect their husbands' treatment and rights, while the wife treats her husband well and does not fall short in his rights?

The answer

You have done well in pleasing your husband and striving for that, for there is a great reward in it, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Any woman who dies while her husband is pleased with her will enter Paradise." So beware of Satan and his whispers that cause discord between you. As for his comparing you to his mother or sister, this contradicts living together in kindness. Regarding your shortcomings in cleanliness, a husband should not neglect other good aspects, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A believing man should not hate a believing woman; if he dislikes one characteristic in her, he will be pleased with another." You must be patient and supplicate for your husband to be guided to righteousness and correctness.
