Question

What is the importance of a husband? How shall he be treated? I'm reluctant to obey him in every matter. I want to correct myself but I'm stubborn and a pampered wife. I want to rectify my amaal.

Answer

The wife should obey her husband in all matters that do not contravene the laws of Shari'ah. She should fulfil his rights and serve him to the best of her ability. When speaking to him, she should adopt a respectable approach. For your own good, you need to pamper your husband.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

“It is compulsory upon the wife to obey the husband. Hence, if the husband does not give her permission to travel for umrah with her parents and family, it will not be permissible for her to travel.”
