Is it not the wife's right that her husband be clean and take care of himself? And is it permissible for her to refuse her husband, from whose foul odor she suffers, until that odor is gone and he attends to his cleanliness?

The wife must obey her husband in matters of enjoyment unless there is a valid excuse. For example, if the husband has an offensive odor due to excessive uncleanliness, the wife is not considered disobedient (nashiz) if she refuses to allow her husband intimacy due to his disheveled appearance and excessive uncleanliness. The husband must remove anything that causes a person to suffer an unbearable annoyance. As for the husband's shortcomings in some matters, such as neglecting foreplay before intercourse, this does not justify the wife's refusal to her husband.
