The answer

For a wife to devote herself to her household affairs is a divinely mandated requirement, because Islamic law commands women to remain in their homes, as the Almighty says: {And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance}. Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, used to weep until her head covering became wet when she recited this verse. Ibn al-Arabi advised choosing a righteous woman of faith and good character who brings joy to the eyes and safeguards the home.
