The answer

A wife is not sinful if her husband turns away from her, because his turning away is not due to her actions. However, she becomes sinful if she refuses his bed or disobeys him in what is obligatory. It is befitting for the wife to pay attention to her adornment and beauty for her husband, as she might be the reason for his turning away. The Sharia has encouraged women to adorn themselves for their husbands in a way that pleases him and makes him desire her. Noble prophetic hadiths confirm this meaning.
