Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The texts of the Quran and have indicated the obligation of a wife to obey her husband, for he is her maintainer. She receives a great reward if she obeys him and fulfills his rights, and this can be a cause for her entry into Paradise. If the obedience of the husband conflicts with the obedience of parents, the obedience of the husband takes precedence, because his obedience is more obligatory upon her.
