My wife has decided to separate because of reason that has happened is beyond repair. She asked me to get out of the house and I did, I reassured kids I am going to be back as they are still under 10. But my wife has decided to be separate. I am in another city at my relative. She been talking to kids about what happened and how dad is not gonna live with them. I have met them but she is not happy for me to meet like that. I want to know what rights I have on my kids, how can we make sure kids upbringing is co parenting. What goes Islam says about it? This is the second time she told me to get out of the house even I tried to separate the bed once but she won’t leave me alone. She has anger management issues. I wanna know in light of Quran how and what to continue when kids are involved.

What did Imam Shafi'i mean when he said that no one can be compelled into intercourse?
Imam al-Shafi‘i (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his famous book Al-Um: > و قال الامام الشافعي رحمه الله في كتاب "الأم" : وهكذا لو كانت منفردة > به ، أو مع أمة له يطؤها ، أمر بتقوى الله عز وجل ، وألا يضر بها في > الجماع ، ولم يفرض عليه منه شيء بعينه ، إنما يفرض عليه ما لا صلاح لها > إلا به من ن...
Imam al-Shafi‘i (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his famous book Al-Um: > و قال الامام الشافعي رحمه الله في كتاب "الأم" : وهكذا لو كانت منفردة > به ، أو مع أمة له يطؤها ، أمر بتقوى الله عز وجل ، وألا يضر بها في > الجماع ، ولم يفرض عليه منه شيء بعينه ، إنما يفرض عليه ما لا صلاح لها > إلا به من نفقة وسكنى وكسوة ، وأن يأوى إليها ، فأما الجماع فموضع تلذذ > ولا يجبر أحد عليه. (كتاب الأم، الجزء 6، الصفحة 482، باب الخلع والنشوز) Here’s a precise English translation of the passage from Imam al-Shafi‘i’s Al-Um (Vol. 6, p. 482, Chapter on Khul‘ and Nushuz): > "And likewise, if she is alone with him, or with a female slave whom > he has intercourse with, he is commanded to fear Allah Almighty and > not to harm her in sexual relations. Nothing specific is prescribed > for him regarding this; rather, what is required of him is what she > cannot do without—namely, providing her with maintenance, > accommodation, clothing, and taking her in. As for sexual intercourse, > it is a matter of pleasure, and no one can be compelled to it." Is Imam Shafi'i talking about MEN only i.e. intercourse is a matter of pleasure only for MEN and they cannot be compelled to do it? Or is he talked about both MEN and WOMEN (wife and concubine) in general?

why don’t men have to mourn their dead wife while a woman has to mourn her dead husband

this is something that has been bothering me for a while and I was hoping someone could answer or educate me on this topic. when a woman's husband dies she must wait 4 months and a couple of days before getting married. I understand that this rule is put out in case the woman is pregnant. However, the woman is not allowed to wear jewelry, perfume or anything that may beautify her in order to show respect to her husband who has passed away. she cannot go out with friends to feel better and can only leave the house for necessity. I don't think this is necessarily bad but what bothers me is that when a mans wife dies, he does not have to show any respect or mourn his wife's passing away. in fact he can marry someone else a day after her passing away. isn't there some kind of respect shown for a wife who's passed? why is a wife worth so much less than a husband? it's starting to seem like a wife is required to love and respect her husband more than he is required to love and respect her.

according to authentic hadiths she will be with her last husband. does that mean her previous husband will lose her in jannah? what's the point of forming a relationship and taking the time to be bond then? aren't we supposed to find peace/comfort within our spouses according to the holy quran? So does the man just watch as his wife enters jannah with another man, knowing there's absolutely nothing he can do since he died?

So, I saw this [Fatwa](https://islamqa.info/en/answers/88353/what-is-the-reward-for-spouses-treating-one-another-kindly) on islamqa and it quoted a Hadith. This part of the Hadith says: > Shall I not tell you about your women in Paradise?” We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: “The loving and fertile one who, if she gets angry or is mistreated or her husband gets angry says, ‘Here is my hand in your hand, I shall not sleep until you are pleased.’” As far as the authenticity of the Hadith goes, the article says: > It was also narrated from a number of other Sahabah, hence it was classed as hasan by al-Albani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (3380) and in Saheeh al-Targheeb (1942). Does this mean that women have to tolerate mistreatment and abuse from their husbands? And what if a woman is not fertile? Isn’t she deserving of Paradise because Allah has made the fertile women superior?

If a spouse marries another spouse and they give gifts and things to that spouse. But he/she divorces the other that same night or the next day and run away with the gifts and money. Can the other spouse demand it back? I have found some fatwa- From a Fatwa of Al-Azhar University: "If a woman enters into a marriage with the explicit intent of obtaining money and then divorces immediately to avoid fulfilling her marital duties, this constitutes fraud. In such a case, the husband has the right to request the annulment of the marriage and reclaim any gifts or dowry given. The woman's intention to deceive makes the marriage invalid, and gifts exchanged in an invalid contract must be returned." From the Permanent Committee of Islamic Scholars (Saudi Arabia): "A marriage entered into with deceptive intent for financial gain, with no intention of fulfilling the marital obligations, is considered invalid. In such cases, the husband is entitled to reclaim the dowry and gifts given, as they were exchanged based on a marriage contract that was rooted in fraud." Ibn Qudamah (Hanbali), in his work "Al-Mughni", states that if a person enters a marriage with fraudulent intentions (for example, with the intent to deceive the other party), the marriage can be annulled, and the deceived party may be entitled to reclaim any gifts or payments made during the marriage. This is in line with the principle that fraud nullifies a contract. Al-Mughni, Volume 7, Page 457: "If a marriage is based on deception, such as one spouse hiding their true intentions or misrepresenting something fundamental to the marriage, then the marriage may be annulled, and any gifts or money exchanged could be reclaimed." Al-Shaybani (Hanafi Fiqh): The Hanafi school, in general, holds that a marriage based on deception is a form of fraud. If one party is deceived about a crucial fact (like the intention to divorce or other fundamental issues), the contract can be annulled. This would typically lead to the return of any material goods exchanged under fraudulent circumstances. "Al-Hidayah": The Hanafi text outlines that if the marriage is found to be based on deceit (e.g., false promises), the gifts may be returned, as the basis for their exchange was invalid. Maliki Scholars: Maliki jurists also assert that deceit in marriage, such as entering a marriage under false pretenses, can lead to annulment. If the marriage is annulled due to fraud, the deceived party has the right to request the return of gifts. Al-Mudawwana (by Sahnun): It discusses the consequences of marriage fraud and outlines that the deceived party might be entitled to the return of any gifts or dowry if fraud is proven. Please clarify.

I have searched about the question and some similar topics in islamweb, islamqa and other questions on this page. According the fatwas and answers I have till now comprehended that- 1) A wife is not obliged to do housework as it is not in the marriage contract. But it is encouraged to do so, if the husband is not able to hire a maid or cook. 2) The wife is obliged to obey the husband in all matter that are not haram and not beyond her capacity. So, my question is that if a man is able to arrange for a maid but not a cook (financial reasons) can he ask his wife to do the cooking? As even though she is not obliged **by default** to do household works, **she has to obey him** in what is within her capacity and not haram. Moreover certain hadith also depicts that women used to do that when the husband was not able to afford a servant. And this hadith states that woman is responsible for the house of her husband - > Ibn 'Umar reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock. A man is the shepherd of the people of his house and he is responsible. A woman is the shepherd of the house of her husband and she is responsible. Each of you is a shepherd and each is responsible for his flock." Classed as Sahih (Al Albani). Collected from sunnah.com

A’isha said that once when God’s Messenger was with a number of the Emigrants and Helpers a camel came and prostrated itself before him. Thereupon his companions said, “Messenger of God, beasts and trees prostrate themselves before you, but we have most right to do so.” He replied, “Worship your Lord and honour your brother. If I were to order any one to prostrate himself before another, I would order a woman to prostrate herself before her husband; and if he were to order her to convey stones from a yellow mountain to a black one, or from a black mountain to a white one, it would be incumbent on her to do so.” Ahmad transmitted it. https://sunnah.com/mishkat:3270 It is graded not studied by Al Albani. Can you please clarify, whether it is authentic or not?

If a woman falsely attributes a child to her husband, while he does not know the truth, is it a sin on her?
> The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his > mention ) said: “Any woman who falsely attributes her child to a > people to whom he does not belong, she has no relation to (the > religion of) Allah.” [Abu Daawood and An-Nasaa’i] Although the wording of the Hadeeth is about wome...
> The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his > mention ) said: “Any woman who falsely attributes her child to a > people to whom he does not belong, she has no relation to (the > religion of) Allah.” [Abu Daawood and An-Nasaa’i] Although the wording of the Hadeeth is about women, the ruling applies to men as well. If the husband becomes certain that this woman has committed adultery and falsely attributed her illegitimate child to him and he refrains from denying the paternity of the child, then he would be falsely attributing to himself a child that is not his. Accordingly, he becomes subject to the warning stated in the Hadeeth. This is in addition to the consequences of not denying the paternity of the illegitimate child with regard to rights as he would unjustly take part of his legitimate children’s rights. It was given in a fatwa- https://www.islamweb.net/en/fatwa/406384/husband-abroad-for-3-years-and-once-he-arrived-wife-had-baby So if my understanding is correct, Let's consider a scenario, a wife becomes pregnant by Zina, to hide her sins she attributes the child to her husband, while the husband is not aware of the fact that it is not his child. So, will she be under the wrath of Allah(swt)? Am also curious that will such things be put on trial or be exposed to the husband in judgement day? Edit: Also the Hadeeth in which the Prophet said “He who deceives is not one of us” is an authentic Hadeeth narrated byMuslim, Abu Daawood, At-Tirmidhi, Ibn Maajah and others may also imply that it is a sin to cheat a person.

My spouse's cousin who visits from other city, last time they visited my house, My spouse other family member played board games and cards which I did not like but my spouse assured me that she wouldn't play next time. As a head of house I am not comfortable my spouse playing board games, laughing loudly with a na mahram, initially when they use to visit my spouse never like him as well. Now that they visit us again, my spouse has been up all night or past midnight every night playing board games. I have been very stressed giving me sleepless night and annoyed because my spouse did the opposite of what I do not like What does Islam says about spouse engaging in activities that her husband has refrained from especially in this case where other is na marham and threaten to leave her when confronted by such talk? I know Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said to leave something that take away peace of heart, but I have kids with my spouse and I am afarid of breaking the family which will hurt our kids
