Calling one’s wife to fulfil one’s need
Question
What is the meaning of the following narration:
عن طلق بن علي رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: إذا دعا الرجل زوجته لحاجته فَلْتَأتِهِ وإن كانت على التَّنُور.
Answer
It simply means that if a man calls his wife to fulfil his sexual need, then she should respond to him even though she may be busy cooking. She shouldn’t refuse him due to being involved in her household activities. Instead, she should make time for him and ensure that he is satisfied.
