What is the ruling on a wife abandoning prayer during pregnancy due to pain, and is it permissible for the husband to slap or have intercourse with her while she is in this state, and is the husband sinful for that?
It is not permissible for a wife to harm her husband by raising her voice or otherwise; she must obey him in matters that do not involve disobedience to Allah. The husband is permitted to raise his voice to her for the purpose of disciplining her.
Prayer is a great pillar [of Islam], and it is not permissible for a wife to abandon it. Some scholars have permitted striking her a disciplinary strike that does not disfigure the face, if other methods are ineffective. Abdominal pain is not a justification for abandoning prayer entirely; she must pray standing, and if she is unable to prostrate, she should gesture with her head.
Intercourse with a pregnant wife is permissible in all circumstances, except during menstruation and postpartum bleeding ().
