2- What is the ruling of Islam on a wife who does not obey her husband?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"The ruling of Islam regarding a wife who disobeys her husband is, first, admonition, then abandonment in bed. If this does not work, then a non-severe beating, based on the words of Allah Almighty: (And those [wives] from whom you fear defiance, advise them; forsake them in bed; and strike them. But if they obey you, seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.)"
