If A Husband Refuses To Spend On His Wife, Is It Right To Sexually Refuse Him? by Lukgaf(m): 7:31am On Dec 22, 2017
Praise be to Allah

The husband is obliged to spend on his wife’s maintenance, on a reasonable basis, because Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means”

[an-Nisa; 4:34]

“Let the rich man spend according to his means, and the man whose resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allah has given him. Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him”

[at-Talaq 65:7].

It was narrated that Mu‘awiyah al-Qushayri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, what are the rights of the wife of one of us over him? He said: “That you feed her as you feed yourself, clothe her as you clothe yourself, do not strike the face, do not disgrace her and if you want to shun her (by way of disciplining her) do not leave home.”

Narrated by Abu Dawood (2142) and Ibn Majah (1850); classed as saheeh by al-Albani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

This has been discussed previously in fatwa no. 145722

If the husband fails to spend on his wife’s maintenance, then she has the choice of leaving him or putting up with him.

If she chooses to put up with him, in the hope that he will change, if he is withholding her maintenance out of miserliness and stinginess, or until his financial situation improves, if he is not well off, then she is not obliged to allow him to be intimate with her.

Ash-Shirazi ash-Shaafi‘i said in al-Muhadhdhab fi Fiqh al-Imam ash-Shaafi‘i (3/155):

If she chooses to stay after he becomes unable to spend on her, she is not obliged to allow him to be intimate with her, and she may leave his house, because allowing intimacy is in return for maintenance, so it is not obligatory when there is no maintenance. End quote.

Muhammad Najeeb al-Mutee‘i said in his Sharh (20/169):

If it is proven that the husband is no longer able to spend on her, she has the choice of three options: she may annul the marriage; she may stay with him and allow him to be intimate with her, and it is her right that she should spend on her whatever he is able to spend; or she may remain married to him, without having to allow him to be intimate with her – rather she may leave his house, because allowing intimacy is only obligatory upon her when he spends on her maintenance, but he is not doing so in this case, but she is not entitled to maintenance when she is keeping herself away from him, because maintenance is only enjoined in return for allowing intimacy, but in this case she is not allowing him to be intimate with her. End quote.

Al-Bahooti (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Kashshaf al-Qina‘ (5/477):

She has the right to remain in the marriage and not allow him to be intimate with her, so she does not have to allow intimacy or reside in his house, and he must not detain her; rather he should let her earn money, even if she is well off, because he has not given her anything in return for intimacy with her. End quote.

However we should draw the wife’s attention to the fact that refusing intimacy with the aim of making him mend his ways, correcting his behaviour and the like is a means of amending and correcting someone’s behaviour in which attention should be paid to the husband’s condition and character, and the negative outcomes that may result from that, as well as the hoped-for benefits. It may make some husbands escalate the quarrel and become stubborn and get angry with his wife if she does such a thing, and he would forget his own shortcomings and the wife’s aim of reforming him, to the point that he ends up destroying the marriage.

So be very careful, lest you make matters worse between yourself and your husband when you are trying to put things right. Look carefully at your husband’s situation and what you think will have a positive impact on him; if you have a right over him, be wise and prudent in exercising your rights.

And Allah knows best.

I'm a Muslim, and I agree with most of the thing you wrote there.
But why is it that anytime Muslim writers talks about marriage yih always use the plural "wives" thing?
Do you know many Muslim men today now abuse this word " wives "?
Some even Mary wives for no reason,just because they want to be in the 'league of wive'.

Muslim writer's should do justice by sometimes using the singular 'wife' word so more Muslim men could drop their 'ergo wives thung.'.

The should be a duty if you are a true Muslim.

i think i can still remember the fatwa well.
The woman has the right to deny the husband sex because the man has not fulfilled his own end of the marriage
the man is to feed,clothe for the woman while the woman is to guard the man's property and train the man's children etc.
If the man can not fulfil his,then the woman has right to deny him sex

Don't get me wrong. I never said having more than one wife is wrong.
I only draw ur attention to the way some Muslim men abuse this wives thing.
Or how can u explain a man who can't take care of one woman but trying to get another one? All to be telling their wife that they have the right according to the Qur'an. How do u explain that?

I'm not against more wives pls.

Islam permits us to be fair to our wife/wives, to spend on them with equity. We should try as much as possible to be fair.

Yes, he has the right...but the wives has rights on him too which he must fulfill reasonably. Let the man remember that he will also be questioned on how he managed his family.

Also, women are to be calm and obedient towards Allah's injunctions. It's normal to be jealous but do not go against Allah's Book.
