Is a wife sinful if she wakes her husband for his prayers and he responds to her by replying, then does not wake up to perform them, and does not pray them until after their time has expired or after he has finished his work?
A righteous woman helps her husband in matters of his religion and his Hereafter. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified the virtue of a believing wife who helps her husband in faith. He prayed for mercy upon those who rise to pray at night and awaken their husbands, and this falls under the general command of enjoining good, cooperating in righteousness and piety, and advising each other to the truth. Prayer is the most important thing upon which cooperation should occur, and it is the first thing a servant will be held accountable for on the Day of Judgment, just as men are obligated to establish it in the mosque. Therefore, be keen on your husband performing prayers on time by frequently supplicating for him, providing comfort, cooperating in attending knowledge gatherings, and reminding him that a believer is not distracted by worldly work from prayer, while adhering to wisdom and gentleness. And know that it is your duty to alert and awaken him.
