About This Book
Allah says: "And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy." (Surah ar-Rum 30:21) The Islamic marriage is a relationship defined by rights, obligations, and the expectation of mercy — and those rights belong to both parties, not just one.
About This Book
Rights of the Spouses presents the Islamic rulings on what husbands and wives owe each other — drawn from the Qur'an and the authenticated Sunnah — in a clear, accessible format that every married Muslim should know.
What This Book Covers
The Rights of the Wife Over Her Husband
Financial maintenance (nafaqah), fair treatment, physical intimacy on appropriate terms, protection of her honor, and the emotional respect that Islam requires of a husband toward his wife — all established from the Qur'an and hadith, with the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) own example as the primary model.
The Rights of the Husband Over His Wife
The wife's obedience to her husband in what is permissible, her guarding of his household and honor in his absence, her cooperation in building a home of peace and taqwa — established from the primary sources and explained with the wisdom behind each obligation.
Mutual Rights and Obligations
Some rights belong to both parties equally — mutual respect, honesty, and the maintenance of the marriage bond through effort and sincerity. The book addresses these shared obligations alongside the specific rights of each spouse.
