Husband sleeping separately from his wife as a punishment
Question
In what circumstances can the husband sleep separately from his wife as a punishment for disobeying his order, which is a religious order as well, and how long can he continue such bed separation?
Answer
The purpose is for the wife to leave her inappropriate ways and respect the husband. Once this has been achieved then resume normal relationships.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
