Q
Is it true that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said ‘A woman who doesn't answer her husband when he calls her will be cursed by the angels’? How should this Hadith be interpreted?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
- This hadith that reads ‘a woman who doesn’t answer her husband when he calls her will be cursed by the angels’ is true.
- What it means is that a wife should not deprive her husband of intimacy, unless there is a legitimate reason, such as she is not feeling well.
- The same criteria goes for the husband as well. A husband must not deprive his wife of emotional, spiritual or financial support.
