Question

Basically I need to know if my wife has the right to tell me what she wants to do as apposed to asking me

Answer

Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] is reported to have said that the best women is she who obeys her husband and does not do anything against the wish of her husband. (Nasaaie vol.2 pg.71)

We advise you consider giving your wife permission if necessary.

Ask AskImam

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
