What is the ruling on a wife abandoning the bedroom and spending the night in another room due to a dispute with her husband?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is natural for marital disputes to occur, and each party should appease the other while observing their mutual Shariah rights. It is not permissible for the wife to abandon her husband's bed or bedroom without a legitimate Shariah excuse, and she must respond to him if he calls her. The wife's error is evident if the abandonment is without a legitimate Shariah reason. The husband must appease her if something that angered her originated from him.
