حفظه الله تعالى و راعى

We don't ask Allah for trials, but once they're over, one can't help but miss the sweetness of 'Ibadah that was tasted in their duration. The best reward of being afflicted with difficulty is the unwavering Tawakkul that one develops through it and the Du'aas that escape from the depths of your soul in the dark abyss of the night.

When the dark waves of trials come crashing down on you, don't struggle against them and fight to reach the surface. Accept the decree of your Lord. Dive deeper and find the pearl of contentment and Yaqeen. The waves haven't been sent to destroy you, but rather to force you to dive deeper and find a valuable treasure worth more than the world and everything it contains.

Rights of The Wife #5: Intimacy

One of the main goals/reasons behind marriage is to preserve the chastity of both spouses by fulfilling their physical desires through one another. The wife has the right of being physically gratified through her husband, as women also have desires that need to be fulfilled by the husband, lest they become prompted to fulfill them through Harām means due to neglect from the husband in this matter. The husband is required to have physical relationship with his wife on a reasonable basis. It says in al-Mawsū‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah: "One of the rights that the wife has over the husband is that he should maintain her chastity, by having intercourse with her. The majority of fuqaha’ – Hanafis, Mālikis and Hanbalis – are of the view that it is obligatory for the husband to have intercourse with his wife."

Allāh forbids a man to keep a woman in marriage but to leave her hanging:

وَلَن تَسْتَطِيعُوٓا۟ أَن تَعْدِلُوا۟ بَيْنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ ۖ فَلَا تَمِيلُوا۟ كُلَّ ٱلْمَيْلِ فَتَذَرُوهَا كَٱلْمُعَلَّقَةِ ۚ وَإِن تُصْلِحُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

"And you will never be able to be equal [in feeling] between wives, even if you should strive [to do so]. So do not incline completely [toward one] and leave another hanging." [an-Nisā']

Leaving her "hanging" means to leave her neither divorced nor enjoying the rights of marriage, of which intimacy is included in. Al-Jassās said: He (the husband) is obliged to have intercourse with her, because Allāh says (interpretation of the meaning): “…so as to leave the other hanging (i.e. neither divorced nor married)…” meaning, neither divorcing her so that she can marry another or leaving her without a husband because he is not fulfilling his duty of having intercourse with her. [Ahkām al-Qur’ān]

Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded one of his companions to lessen his worship at night and his fasting during the day, citing the right of the wife which is neglected due to such worship.

Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr bin Al-'Ās: Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O 'Abdullāh! Have I not been informed that you fast all the day and stand in prayer all night?" I said, "Yes, O Allāh’s Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "Do not do that! Observe the fast sometimes and also leave them (the fast) at other times; stand up for the prayer at night and also sleep at night. Your body has a right over you, your eyes have a right over you and your wife has a right over you."

In the commentary on this Hadith in Fath al-Bārī, its say: “The husband should not exhaust himself in worship to the extent that he becomes too weak to fulfill her rights by having intercourse with her and by earning a living.”

Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ) also taught his Sahābah that intimacy with the wife is a good deed that one is rewarded for, as is mentioned in the following Hadīth:

Narrated by Abu Dharr (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allāh(ﷺ) said: “…the intimacy of one of you (with his wife) is a charity.” They said: O Messenger of Allāh, if one of us fulfills his desire, will he be rewarded for that? He said: “Do you not see that if he did it in a Harām manner, there would be a burden of sin on him for that? Similarly, if he does it in a Halāl manner, he will be rewarded for it.” [Muslim]

Imām al-Nawawi (رحمه الله) said regarding this Hadīth: "Intercourse may be an act of worship if the intention behind it is to fulfill the rights of one's wife, to treat her kindly as enjoined by Allāh, to seek a righteous child, to keep oneself or one’s wife chaste, to prevent both partners from looking towards or thinking of Harām things, and other good intentions." [Sharh Muslim, 7/92]

Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) said: It is obligatory for the man to have intercourse with his wife on a reasonable basis, and this is one of the most important rights that she has over him; it is more important than feeding her. With regard to obligatory intercourse, according to one view, it is obligatory (at least) once every four months; according to another view, it should be according to her need and his ability, just as he should feed her according to her need and his ability. The latter is the more correct of the two opinions. [Majmū‘ al-Fatāwa (32/271)]

Ibn Qudāmah al-Hanbali (رحمه الله) said: “Intercourse is a duty on the man – i.e., the husband should have intercourse with his wife – so long as he has no excuse. This is also the opinion of Mālik.” [al-Mughni, 7/30] He also said: “If he has a wife, he should spend one night in four with her, so long as he has no excuse.” [Al-Mughni; Kashf al-Qinā’]

Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah said: “It is obligatory for the husband to have intercourse with his wife as much as is needed to satisfy her, so long as this does not exhaust him physically or keep him away from earning a living. [Al-Ikhtiyārāt al-Fiqhiyyah min Fatāwa Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah, p. 246]

It is not permissible for a husband to forsake his wife in bed for an extended period of time that would harm her, unless she was defiantly disobedient to him, in which case he can forsake her bed as long as needed to discipline her. The one who refuses to have intercourse with his wife – if she is not defiantly disobedient – for four months or more is included under the same ruling as one who swore an oath (called Īla’) not to have sexual relations with his wife (see al-Baqarah 2:226); he should be instructed (by the Qādhi or judge) either to have intercourse with her or to divorce her, and if he refuses to divorce her, then the Qādhi may issue a ruling of divorce.

Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله ) said: "Causing harm to the wife by not having intercourse is grounds for annulment in all cases, whether the husband did that intentionally or otherwise, and whether he was able to do it or not; it is like maintenance, and even more important." [Al-Fatāwa al-Kubra]

When the nation whose men are jealousy about their womenfolk, seeking but their women’s decency and honor, their women will be chaste women. And that’s a successful nation.

One of Allah’s attributes is jealousy. Allah is jealous and the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم is jealousy. Also, jealousy among human beings is two categories:
One of them is recommended when it’s suspicious.
And the other is hateful when there’s no suspicion.

Sa’d ibn Muaadh رضي الله عنه when the verse was revealed, if someone found a man with his wife, in relations, call upon four witnesses. He told the Prophet, O Messenger of Allah, if I saw someone with my wife, you expect me to go and find four witnesses?! By Him who sent you with the truth, if I find a man with my wife in relations, I will end him viscously. And let Allah do to me what He wants to do. Look at the protective jealousy he had!

One time Umar Ibn Al-Khattab رضي الله عنه was sitting outside, a man was running with his weapon dripping and a group of people were chasing after him. Then the man approached Umar and sat next to him. Umar inquired what was wrong? The group of people said to Umar, this man killed our man. Umar asked the man who sat next to him, is that true what they are saying against you? The man said, I found a man with my wife, if it was was him - yes I killed him. Umar shook the sword and said, if that happens again, do it again.

Look at the women of this nation today, you see them exposing themselves left, right and centre, walking the streets like men and what more, their husbands are walking behind them encouraging them! Where is the Muslim protective jealousy that is required on the part of every believer?! The one Allah loves!

Imam Ahmad, "Umm Saleh lived with me 30 for years. We never had a single disagreement!"

-*The effort of {(both)} of them accomplished that!*

Comment:
-When my mother passed away (rahimaha Allah), my father wrote in his condolence to me, the hadith:

"If a woman prays her five (daily prayers), fasts her month (Ramadaan), guards her chastity and obeys her husband, it will be said to her: Enter Paradise by whichever of the gates of Paradise you wish.”

My father said, "Allah is my witness she did that and more. For the fifty years I was with your mother she never disagreed with me.
I lived pleased with your mother, and Allah is my witness she died while i was pleased with her, may Allah be pleased with her."

_______
May Allah raise her rank to ferdous, and grant my father a long life full of deeds.

May Allah delight your hearts, and bring coolness to your eyes with spouses like that.
