What is the ruling on a wife who is too lazy to wake up for Fajr prayer and wakes up grumbling and angry after her husband's insistence? And what is the ruling on the husband if he leaves her sleeping? And what should he do about that, and should he use strictness?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife should thank Allah for a husband who enjoins her to pray, and she should not be lazy or angry when he wakes her for prayer, in obedience to Allah's saying: "And enjoin prayer upon your family and be steadfast therein" and His saying: "Protect yourselves and your families from a Fire." She should rise for prayer with energy and happiness, and not resemble the hypocrites.
