2. Rights & Responsibilities of a Husband & a Wife
Islam clearly lays down rights and responsibilities of a husband over his wife and that of a wife over her husband.
The idea that spouses have rights over one another is quite unique to Islam. 1. Allah is the source of these rights and responsibilities. 2. Just like a husband has rights over his wife, the wife has rights over her husband.

3. Cont
They should both strive to fulfill each other’s rights to the best of their ability and forgive each other as much as possible if they fall short. 3. Both husband and wife must be moderate with respect to these rights and responsibilities

4. Cont
4. The “spirit” of the Islamic law is to live in peace and harmony without disobeying Allah. Always remember that tranquility, love, mercy and gentleness, are essential components of a happy, Islamic marriage.

5. Duties of Husband & Wife
What are the wife's rights and responsibilities toward her husband, and what are the husband's rights and responsibilities toward his wife?
The rights in marriage fall into 3 categories:
1- Mutual rights between the two spouses. 2- Husband’s rights. 3- Wife’s rights.
These rights translate into the following duties that the husband and wife owe to each other

6. Mutual rights between the two spouses.
a):To keep each other’s secrets. The Prophet (peace be upon him) says: “The people of the worst stature with Allah on the Day of Judgment are men who confide in their wives, and wives who confide in their husbands, and then they spread each other’s secrets around.” [Sahîh Muslim]

7. Cont
b): To pass the night with one another. Women must tend to their husband’s needs even if they don’t feel that need themselves. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “If a man invites his wife to his bed and she refuses, and as a consequence he goes to sleep angry, then the angels curse her until she rises.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî]. 

8. Cont------- d)The right to inherit from each other.
c): To adorn themselves in a reasonable manner. This is implied in the verse: “Be intimate with them in kindness.” And “They have as what is asked of them in kindness.”
d)The right to inherit from each other.

9. Cont  
e) To forgive each other’s small mistakes.  F) To provide emotional support in both
happiness and sadness   g) To offer each other wholesome advice concerning obedience to Allah. 

10. Rights of the Wife Over the Husband:
Islam grants a wife rights over her Muslim husband. Some of them are financial, others are not. 1. Mahr: The woman has the financial right to receive mahr, or bridal gift from her husband. The payment of the dowry to the wife is an obligation and a debt upon the husband until he pays it and there is no escaping it unless the wife freely and willingly gives up her right to it.

11. Cont
2. Good Treatment: The Quran puts great emphasis on treating the wife well. “…And live with them in kindness.…” (Quran 4:19). In addition to the Quran, the Prophet of Allah has also stressed, ‘The most excellent of you is he who is best to his wife.’ (Tirmidhit, Her support is one of the most important rights of the wife over her husband. He must provide for her without extravagance nor the opposite, according to his ability and the standards set by his society at his time.

12. Cont--------- Allah said:
"And you will not be able to effect justice between the women no matter how hard you try. So do not incline [toward some] completely such that you leave [another] as if suspended. And if you reform and fear Allah, surely Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful." [Noble Quran 4:129]

13. Cont
"That he should feed her whenever he eats and cloth her whenever he clothes himself, that he not hit her face, that he not call her ugly and that he not boycott her except within the house." [>Ibn Majah] A woman is even allowed to take from her husband's property without his knowledge if he falls below this basic level of supporting her.

14. Cont
If a husband does not support his wife, she has no obligation to fulfill her obligations to him. If a woman goes to a judge and shows that her husband will not support her, the judge may immediately separate them according to numerous scholars. If a man has more than one wife, he is required to do justice between them in terms of physical things (housing, clothing, food, etc.) and nights spent with each.

15. Cont
A Muslim husband must remember the advise of his beloved Prophet, “Fear Allah in regard to women. You were given them as a trust from Allah and by the word of Allah they have become lawful for you.” (Muslim)
Wife is a trust, neither a slave, nor a dog and must be treated as such.

16. Cont
3.Financial Maintenance: A wife has the right to financial maintenance, including food, clothing, and housing according to what the husband can afford. It is the husband’s responsibility to work and support his wife.
4.Protection: A husband must protect his wife including physical and emotional well being.

17. Rights of the Husband Over the Wife:
1.Obedience: In Islam, a wife is required to obey her husband in matters that do not involve disobeying Allah. First, a wife must obey her husband in obedience to Allah. The Prophet said, ‘If a woman offers her five daily prayers, fasts the month of Ramadan, guards her chastity and obeys her husband, it will be said to her on the Day of Judgment, “Enter through any gate of Paradise you wish.”‘ (Ibn Hibban

18. Cont
Second, wife obeying her husband is not like a slave obeying the master! She is a free woman, not a slave. What this means is that her husband cannot abuse his authority over his wife and act as a tyrant/dictator. He must remember that he is the servant of Allah and will be questioned about how he treats his wife.

19. Cont
Third, a husband must conduct the affairs of his family with mutual consultation with his wife, but in the end, he is the decision-maker and he will be responsible in front of Allah for his decision. A wife should not object to his decision-making authority.

20. Cont
2. Protecting the Honor & Dignity of the Husband: She must protect his wealth and children, among other things, in his house. The Prophet Muhammad said, “The wife is the guardian over the house of her husband and his children.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Saheeh Muslim). She is required to raise his children upon Islamic values.

21. Cont
3.Not Leaving the House Without the Husband’s Permission: The Prophet said, “If the wife of any of you should seek permission to go to the mosque, do not prevent her.” (Muslim) This does not mean she has to take his permission every time before she leaves the house, asking, “Can I leave?” What this means is that she should not go some place he does not approve of. It will minimize conflict and keep happiness in the family. An exception is the mosque. She can go to the mosque without her husband’s permission and approval.

22. Cont
All Muslim women and wives in particular - that they should not leave the house except for a legitimate purpose such as going to the masjid, seeking knowledge, shopping for household needs, etc. and that if they are married, they may not do that except with their husband's permission.
"If the wife of any of you seeks permission to go to the masjid, he may not prevent her." [Muslim & Bukhari]

23. Cont
4.Not Allowing Anyone to Enter His House Without His Permission: The Prophet said, “And your right over them is that they do not allow anyone whom you dislike to sit on your cushion.”[Saheeh Muslim] Once again, what this means is not to let anyone in the house who the husband disapproves of to minimize conflict and maintain harmony.

24. Cont
It is established from many hadith that the wife is not to allow anyone inside if she knows that her husband does not like for that person to be in the house (male or female).
"...And that she should not admit anyone to his house except with his permission..." [Muslim & Bukhari]
If the wife knows or has good reason to believe that her husband would not object to a particular individual, then she may allow them into the house.

25. Cont
5.Physical Relations: It is the obligation of the wife to respond whenever her husband calls her to come to bed unless there is a strong reason why she cannot
"Whenever a man calls his wife for his desire, let her come to him even if she is occupied at the oven." [At-Tirmidhi - Sahih]
"Whenever a man calls his wife to bed and she refuses to come, the angels curse her until morning." [Al-Bukhari]]

26. Cont
6.Concealing Bedroom Secrets: Neither spouse should talk about their sex lives with friends and family members. It is considered inappropriate, indecent, and shameful. Both should respect each other’s privacy in this regard. Sexual intercourse is a right they both have on each other. Each spouse has a right to intercourse. Vaginal intercourse is prohibited during a woman’s menstrual cycle and post-natal bleeding. Anal intercourse is severely prohibited at all times.
