What are a husband's rights over his wife?

“It is compulsory upon the wife to obey the husband. Hence, if the husband does not give her permission to travel for umrah with her parents and family, it will not be permissible for her to travel.”

“It is the right of the husband that the wife obeys him in every permissible act which he commands her to carry out, and in fact it is Waajib for her to obey him if he commands her to carry out an action.”

“There are two issues in your query. A) The wife working. B) The right over the income of the wife. In principle, it is not permissible for a woman to work unnecessarily. A wife ought to be maintained and supported by the husband.”

“Islam has emphasized on the wife to be obedient to the husband and on the husband to treat the wife with kindness, compassion and justice. Both components are necessary in a successful marriage and if both husband and wife play their proper roles in the marriage, the objectives of marriage will be fulfilled.”
