What is the ruling on dealing with a husband who neglects his pregnant wife, does not give her her rights, and does not treat her kindly?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
No specific question was mentioned, and the wife has rights over her husband that he must fulfill. If the husband is abusive and neglectful of his wife's rights, then it is characteristic of the noble person to acknowledge the virtue of his family, unlike the ignoble one who does not preserve kindness. The advice to the wife is to be patient with him, to pray for his guidance and rectitude, to offer him sincere advice gently, and to seek assistance from the wise members of his family.
