Rights of a Muslim Wife upon Her Husband


Rights of a Muslim Wife upon Her Husband
 There is a misconception that Islam doesn’t give proper rights to woman. If you carefully study Islam in the lights of Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), you will understand that Islam is the only religion giving proper rights to a woman or wife.
Allah said in the Quran:
And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought? (Quran 30:21)
Below are the 12 rights of a Muslim wife upon her husband or a Muslim husband’s duties towards his wife:
1.     TO SPEND UPON HER, to feed her. Not to be excessive in this and not to be stingy!

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Give charity.’ A man said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have a Dinar.’ He said: ‘Spend it on yourself.’ He said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘Spend it on your wife.’ He said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘Spend it on your son.’ He said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘Spend it on your servant.’ He said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘You know best (what to do with it).”‘ (Sunan an-Nasa’i 2535)
It’s in fact a reward for a man to spend upon his wife:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allah’s sake even if it were a morsel which you put in your wife’s mouth.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
2.     TO BE KIND TO HER AND NOT TO HARM HER.

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “The most perfect man in his faith among the believers is the one whose behavior is most excellent; and the best of you are those who are the best to their wives.” (Tirmidhi)
3.     TO BE LOVING TO HER. If you are an husband reading this, then you must do the following very often:
§  Loving to her with your tongue. Nice words, tell her you love her. Tell her how good she looks.
§  If your wife asks you to get her something and you can’t get it , say I’ll get it inshaAllaah.
§  Helping her with housework. This is from the example of the Prophet (ﷺ)
§  To be playful with his wife.
§  Sharing food with her.
§  To cuddle with her.
§  Sleeping under the same cover.
4.     That The Men Must Not Curse Or Swear At His Wife, Or Insult Her Appearance.
5.     A Man Must Not Boycott Her And If He Does (For A Valid Reason) He Should Do It Inside Of The Home.
6.     A man should not expose the secrets of his wife.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: The most wicked among the people in the eye of Allah on the Day of judgment is the men who goes to his wife and she comes to him, and then he divulges her secret. (Sahih Muslim)
7.     A MAN SHOULD NOT HATE HIS WIFE. Exalt the good and minimize her shortcomings. A man should not be angry at her faults and should look at her good. To look only good in her.
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “A believer must not hate (his wife) believing woman; if he dislikes one of her characteristics he will be pleased with another”. (Muslim)
May Almighty Allah grant us understanding!!! Ameen...

HOW TO CORRECT YOUR WIVES WITHOUT HURTING HER FEELINGS Most men hurt their wives in the name of correcting them. They speak harshly, they are so rash in their approach and can be brutal.

Everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME. Don’t be violent or mean to yourself for no reason other than just because your path is different from the person’s path beside you.

*TIME IS SOMETHING* She is married at the age of 21. - Oh and I’m still single at 35. She’s momming three kids. - Oh and I am 10 years married and have none. She is a manager in an international company. - Oh, we graduated together and I am still jobless. She travels the world . - Oh and I have never been abroad. Job title, income, grades, house, and Instagram and Facebook  likes—the number of categories in which we can compare ourselves to others are infinite. Where is it expected from you to be a doctor or engineer, get married by 21 and have mortgaged house and 3 kids by 26. RELAX. You’re not LATE. You’re not EARLY. Everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME. Don’t be violent or mean to yourself for no reason other than just because your path is different from the person’s path beside you. Be your own cheerleader. Stop comparing yourself with others and instead refocus all that energy internally and focus on how you can become the best versio

Ruling on women spending of their own wealth without their husbands permission

Ruling on women spending of their own wealth without their husbands permission      Question I am a working woman, and I have a salary from which I spend on myself and my home, I give some to my family and I give some in charity, and so on. Many of the arguments that I have with my husband arise because of the way I spend my money. Does my husband have the right to object to the way I spend my money? Do I have to ask for his permission when I want to spend any of my money? Answer Praise be to Allah. Undoubtedly the free adult person who is of sound mind and discernment is permitted to dispose of his own wealth with no restrictions as long as he is alive, whether he is buying, renting, giving a gift, establishing a Waqf (endowment) or any other kind of transaction. There is no dispute among the scholars on this point. There is also no dispute among the scholars concerning the fact that the husband does not have the right to object to the way his wife handles her wealth
