Pleasing the wife in permissible things

· 2 Rajab 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I heard that there is a hadith which states that if a husband follows what his wife tells him to do, he will have la'nat on him. Is this correct?

Answer

To please the wife in permissible things is permissible, in fact, it is encouraged.

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