Question:
May Allah
give you good noble Shaykh, the questioner says: ‘We hear a lot these
days, that the wife is not required to serve her husband as it relates
to cooking and washing clothes. Therefore we would like from you a word
to explain this affair.
Shaykh Fawzan:
The woman now has evolved; she doesn’t
take care of her husband. Now if you need her to take care of some of
your needs, she doesn’t stay in the house. The husband comes and sits in
the house and waits and she doesn’t come (home); or she comes at the
last part of the night. Now the women are rebellious. It is from the
Sunnah for the woman to serve her husband. The female companions, may
Allah be pleased with them, served their husbands, they cooked and took
care of the home and they were the female companions, the best women of
this nation. Faatima the daughter of Muhammad, peace and blessings of
Allah are upon him and may Allah be pleased with her; used to carry
water on her neck such that the rope left a mark on her neck. She
requested from the Messenger that he provide her with a servant and he
refused. He refused to provide her with a servant and he ordered her to
seek help by remembrance of Allah and seeking forgiveness from Allah;
and she was the daughter of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah are
upon him.
