Husband
calls his wife to bed, but she is ill and unable to respond
to his call
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Does the woman fall into sin if she refuses her husband when
he calls her (to his bed) if she is suffering from a fleeting
mental lapse, or she is ill and suffering from pain?
Response:
It is obligatory upon the woman to respond to her husband
if he calls her to his bed. However, if she is ill due to
a mental lapse and is unable to face her husband, then in
this situation it is not permissible for her husband to request
her (to satisfy his (sexual) needs) as the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
said:
((There
is to be no harm and no causing of harm)).
And
it is upon him to restrain himself and seek to satisfy (himself)
with his wife in a manner which will not cause any harm (to
her).
