What is the ruling regarding a wife who insults her husband, humiliates him, and falsely accuses him of hypocrisy in front of their children?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden for the wife to insult her husband, humiliate him, or accuse him of anything disgraceful without proof, especially accusing him of hypocrisy. These are abominable acts for which the wife incurs sin, and they are contrary to living together with kindness.
The husband should advise her gently and kindly, explaining the seriousness of her actions, and seek the help of her family or someone who can influence her, so she may come to her senses. Both spouses must exercise wisdom and avoid problems as much as possible, and not expose their children to them.
