What is the ruling regarding a wife continuing to wake her husband for prayer, knowing that he is bothered by it, and after every conjugal act he delays ghusl and sleeps through the prayers?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The husband must take the necessary measures to fulfill his obligatory duties, and any action that prevents him from performing the prayer on time is forbidden to him, especially if it becomes a habit. If the reason for him missing prayers is sleep, then he must abandon whatever prevents him from waking up for prayer on time, and he must repent for his previous negligence. The wife must continuously advise her husband and wake him for prayer, as long as it does not result in a greater harm.
