Psychological
conditions may allow a wife to prevent her husband
Question:
Is a woman sinful if she prevents her husband when he desires
her for sexual intercourse due to her psychological state
or due to an illness that is hurting her?
Response:
It is obligatory upon the wife to respond to her husband if
he calls her to his bed. However, if she is psychologically
ill and is not able to actively respond to his call or if
she has a physical illness, then in such cases it is not allowed
for the husband to call upon her. This is because the Prophet
(sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) said:
((There is to be no harm done or
reciprocation of harm)).
He
should either refrain or enjoy her company in such a way that
does not harm her.
