What is the legal ruling regarding a husband who abandons his wife for four full months without intercourse, and only has intercourse with her once every three or four months, while not responding to her repeated attempts to initiate and request it? Could the reason for this be a touch from Satan, financial hardship, illness, or sorcery? Is it permissible for the wife to spy on him to find out the reason?

A man's intercourse with his wife, in a way that preserves her chastity and fulfills her need, is one of her most emphasized rights upon him. The amount that is obligatory is according to her need and his ability. Sorcery or demonic possession may play a role in this, so she should advise him to seek legal ruqyah (definition), and beware of seeking help from sorcerers and charlatans. A wife spying on her husband is not permissible, and a poor psychological state negatively affects sexual health.
