Husband not fulfilling his wife's right
Question
Angels curse a woman who does not allow her husband to touch her without a valid reason. What ruling is there for such a husband who ignores his wife despite her making it obvious.
Answer
The hadith explains that the best husbands are those who fulfil the rights of their wives and are kind and compassionate towards them. Hence, we understand from this Hadith that those husbands who do not fulfil the rights of their wives and are not kind and compassionate towards them are the worst husbands. Allah Ta'ala is displeased with such husbands and they are worthy of punishment.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
