What will be the fate on the Day of Resurrection of a woman who married twice, one husband having died angry with her and the other pleased with her?
A husband's contentment with his wife is evidence of her obedience to him, and it is an act of devotion through which she attains Paradise. A husband's discontentment with his wife occurs for one of two reasons: either due to a legitimate -compliant reason, such as her defiance (nushuz) or her negligence of his rights, or for a reason that is not Sharia-compliant. If the anger is due to a legitimate (Sharia-compliant) reason, then repentance is obligatory, and rights must be restored. However, if there is no legitimate (Sharia-compliant) justification for his discontentment, the woman is not held accountable for it, and she is not obligated to appease him except in matters that are obligatory upon her. Indeed, she would be sinful if she appeased him in a way that is not permissible by Sharia. There is no difference in this regard between a first or second husband.
