THE HUSBAND'S RIGHT TO SEXUAL RELATIONS

Three Ahaadith

A man is entitled to have intercourse with his wife whenever he is desirous of it, and it is her religious duty to make herself available to him. Failing to do so without a valid excuse is a major sin, and this is emphasised in many Ahaadith:

 

1. ➖ Sayyiduna Abu Hurayra relates that Rasulullaah صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid:

''When a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and then he sleeps being angry, the angels curse her until morning." (al-Bukhari 3065 and Muslim 1436, the wording is of Muslim)

2. ➖ Sayyiduna Abu Hurayra relates that Rasulullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

"By the One in Whose hands is my life, there is not a man who calls his wife to his bed and she refuses except that Allaah Ta’aala becomes angry with her until her husband is pleased with her." (Sahih Muslim 1436)

Such is the emphasis on this command that even if the wife happens to be busy when her husband calls her, she must leave everything and respond to his call. 

3. ➖ Sayyiduna Ali Ibn Abu Tālib relates that Rasulullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

"When a man calls his wife for the fulfilment of his sexual need, she must come, even if she is [busy] in the cooking area." (Sunan al-Tirmidhi 1 160)

These Ahaadith clearly illustrate the importance of obedience to a husband's request for sensual gratification.
