In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving

All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad.

Salah is one of the five pillars of Islam. The five daily prayers are personal obligations that have to be fulfilled at their due times. Allah SWT says, “Indeed, the Prayer is [a] prescribed [obligation] for the believers at the [well-known] appointed times.” (An-Nisaa’ 4:103) No one is allowed to prevent a person from observing these daily prayers and thus no permission is needed from anybody.

Though a husband has the right to be obeyed by his wife, he still has no right to prevent her from fulfilling her religious obligations. A prophetic statement has laid the rule in such conflict of rights “No obedience is due for a created being in disobedience to the Creator.” There is no scholarly disagreement in this regard.

Allah Almighty knows best.
