Is obedience to a husband who does not spend the night with his wife, does not want to have children with her, and forces her to relinquish her right to justice, obligatory?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is the wife's right to receive justice in spending, lodging, and procreation, and the husband has no right to prevent her unless with her consent. If he prevents her from her right, he is a transgressor. Her obligation to obey him is conditional upon his fulfilling her rights. The wife should be wise and avoid what leads to greater harm, such as divorce. Rather, she should fulfill his right and demand her own, and supplicate for his guidance.
