The wife bears family life, does the husband owe the wife?

Does the husband owe the wife if all this time the wife meets all or most of the household needs.

Yes, it became the wife’s debt as long as she did not talk to her as Imam Al Khathabi said.

Argument:

For the authority of the judge bin muwahiya al -bahli al -qushairi, for the authority of his father, he said: I said: o God’s messenger, what is our wife’s rights? He said: “If you feed him when you are used, and you will be covered when you are watered, and don’t attack the face, don’t be bad, and don’t migrate except time.”

From the judge bin Mu’awiyah al-Bahili al-Qusyairi, from his father, he said: I asked, “O messenger of Allah, what is the right of one of us for her husband?”

He says:
“You (your husband) give him a food when eating, you give him clothes when you dress. Don’t hit his face, don’t criticize himself, and don’t leave him except at home.” (HR. Al Baghawi in Syarhus Sunnah, 9/160)

About this hadith, Imam Al Baghawi collected from Imam Al Khathabi as:

In this positive alIimony and clothing for her, and he is on the extent of the Husband’s Power, and if the prophet (May God’s Prayers and Peace be Upon Him) Made Him A Right for Her, then he is neckishary or absent, and if he does not find his time, he was a debt on him rights, whether the judge is imposed on HIM the days of his absence, or he did not impose

In this case there is an obligation to livel and clothing for the wife, according to the husband’s ability. When the Prophet ﷺ established it as the right of the wife, the obligation still applies both the husband and is leaving. If in time the husband is unable to fulfill it, then the obligation becomes a debt for him as other mandatory rights, both the judge has set a living for him during his absence or has not determined it.

(Syarhus Sunnah, Volume. 9, p. 160)

So, when the husband has the ability, life has improved, then he should change what his wife has issued during that time. This is the part that is forgotten by his wife and husband. However, if the wife let go of course it is okay and it becomes a pious deed for her. However, the husband’s obligation to support the family continues to apply as long as his husband’s status, even though his wife is rich.

Sheikh Abdullah Al Faqih said:

And there is no success among scholars that the father is borne by the father without a mother until that even if the mother is rich

“There is no difference of opinion among the scholars that the living is only the responsibility of the father alone, not the mother, even if the mother is in a rich condition.”

(FATAWA ASY SYABAKAH AL ISLAMIYAH NO. 113285)

Thus. Wallahu a’lam
