Are the husband or wife entitled to sleep in a separate room when marital disputes recur, and does this behavior increase the estrangement between them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A husband's abandonment of his wife without justification is forbidden (). The wife should be gentle with her husband and strive to please him, as long as he does not command her to commit a sin. Marital life is built upon understanding and affection, with each party striving to fulfill the rights of the other. We advise the husband to treat his wife kindly, fulfill her rights, and live with her honorably, for honoring a woman is a sign of generosity, while humiliating her is a sign of baseness.
