What is the ruling regarding a wife who angered her husband after addressing him inappropriately, and then regretted it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Anger is a source of many inappropriate behaviors, which is why the Prophet (peace be upon him) advised against it. A wife must respect and obey her husband, and a husband must respect his wife, as their relationship is based on mutual respect. If a wife utters inappropriate words in a moment of anger, and then regrets and repents, the husband should forgive her, for "and that you pardon is nearer to righteousness," and "all of you are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."
