Obeying the husband
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.
