What advice is directed to a wife who refuses to call her husband by his name despite his repeated requests, and the husband is psychologically harmed by that?
The wife should call her husband by the name or nickname he prefers to be called by, based on Al-Munawi's statement in Fayd al-Qadir that among the etiquettes of companionship is calling one's companion by the name most beloved to them, and the wife is a companion. It is advised to deal gently to understand the reason for the wife's refusal, as it might be a custom in her environment. The feelings of the other party must be considered, as the matter is simple and should not be a cause for a major dispute that allows room for Satan to sow discord between the spouses.
