AL Slam alecm to everyone..
It was asked of the Prophet (sal allahu alaihi wa sallam) what rights a wife had over her husband. He replied: “That he feed her when he eats himself, and that he clothe her when he clothe himself, and not strike her upon the face, nor revile her, nor leave her alone unless in her own house.” [Abu Dawud]
Although this may appear to be common sense and what a loving Muslim would naturally do, Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) spells eveything out, making it crystal clear for all men for all times. The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) is telling us in this hadith to set the same standards for our families that we set for ourselves. It is not the behaviour befitting a Muslim to eat and drink and clothe himself at a higher standard than what he can do for his dependents.
To provide for his wife’s and children’s needs is incumbent on a man since Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) says: “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means…” [Quran 4:34] Other ayaat and ahadith also make it clear that men are the providers for their families. It is because of this that they are given the upper hand in decision making for their family. A Muslim woman is the queen of her house and is taken care of by her king. It is not her parents who take care of her or her husband. If her husband is bought by her dowry then he is not her king but her slave.
Taking care of the family’s basic needs is recompensed by Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) as a Fard and is therefore highly rewarded. Whatever is not required but done for the family anyway is rewarded as a Sadaqa. It should be remembered that Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) is pure and accepts only purity. Therefore, the man must take care of His Fard and Nafl with pure, Halal earnings in order for him to be rewarded by Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) for it.
This hadith also addresses a woman’s needs of being treated with love, respect and consideration. It also makes clear that a woman has the right to be protected. If she is left alone somewhere and some incident should happen to her, her husband will be held accountable as he was responsible to ensure her protection outside her home. In return it is her job to make her husband’s home a peaceful sanctuary for him, so that when he returns home from work he can rest and enjoy his family life with her.
