Does a husband's anger towards his wife invalidate the reward for her prayers or fasting?
There is no explicit text from the Qur’an or authentic Sunnah stating that a husband's anger deprives his wife of the reward for her prayers and fasting. A weak hadith has been reported regarding this: "Three people's prayers are not accepted, nor do their good deeds ascend to Allah: the intoxicated person until he becomes sober, the woman whose husband is displeased with her, and the runaway slave until he returns and places his hand in the hands of his masters." As for a husband's rightful anger, it necessitates Allah's wrath and the angels' curse, due to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning."
