حدود طاعة المرأة لزوجها في الفقه الإسلامي : الخلاف الفقهي بين الزوجين نموذجا

Abstract EN

This study aims to highlight the boundaries of a woman’s obedience to her husband in Islamic jurisprudence and discuss the method that should be followed by the spouses between whom there are juristic differences on certain issues, so that the juristic differences may not lead to marital disputes.

The research problem is that Allah Almighty has made it an obligation upon a woman to obey her husband.

However, He has prohibited a man or a woman in general to blindly obey his fellow man if he disobeys the commands of Allah.

Therefore, what is the Islamic juristic ruling pertaining to a woman who is asked by her husband to carry out an order she believes is not juristically allowed, even if it is allowed in the eyes of her husband? Does she, in this case, comply with the will and order of her husband or follow what she believes to be juristically right? Does this affect the type and nature of the case? This research uses the inductive approach in gathering different juristic statements and cases, and an analytical approach in investigating those statements and cases.

It uses critical approach in selecting the statements that are preponderant.

Finally, the research concludes with several findings: man has no right to oblige his wife to comply with an order which is not recognized by the SharīÑah especially if complying with it will cause her harm; a woman must obey her husband in carrying out a command that is obligatory upon her by the SharīÑah and upright customs.
