Question: What is the ruling of the one who has good relations
with the people (outside) but is of bad character in his home, easily angered?
May Allaah reward you with goodness.
Answer: What is compulsory on a woman and what we advice her
with is to be good to her husband, because he faces many problems, unbelievable
problems. Yes, by Allaah! He faces the problems of sustenance, problems of
liabilities and other problems. So, it is incumbent on her if he enters upon
her, she should be good to him. She should emulate Khadeejah (radiAllaahu
anha) when the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) came
to her and complained to her, “I fear that something would happen to
me,” and she said to him, “Nay by Allaah! Allaah will never
disgrace you, you keep good relations with your kin, you help all,” and
she mentioned something of the character of the Prophet (sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam) and I advise the righteous woman to be good to her
husband.
