For example, if a woman believes that gold jewellery must have zakah paid on it, while her husband does not believe this, and he tells her not to pay zakah on h

Likewise, if a woman does not believe a certain act is recommended, but her husband believes it is recommended, she does not have to do that act as a form of worship simply because he wants her to or to please him. Acts of worship require evidence from the Shariah. However, a woman should be wise. She should not openly challenge her husband over matters where she is not required to obey him. If she disagrees, she should try to handle it calmly and respectfully. It should also be known that a husband does not have the right to prevent his wife from performing acts of worship that do not harm him. For example, if he is away, he cannot prevent her from fasting. The hadith about not fasting without permission applies when the husband is present. A husband also cannot stop his wife from doing things like morning and evening remembrance of Allah. She may do these acts of worship, but she should not use them as a reason to neglect her husband’s needs. At the end of this answer, I advise both spouses to cooperate in righteousness and goodness, and to help each other in what benefits them in this life and the next. Cooperating in obedience to Allah and avoiding sins are among the greatest reasons for a successful marriage. Sins are a cause of corruption in both worldly life and religion. Allah says: {وَأَن لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُم مَّاءً غَدَقًا} “If they had remained steadfast on the right path, We would have given them abundant water.” [72:16] Each spouse should also value and appreciate the good qualities of the other person, whether in character or appearance. Muslim narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet ﷺ said: (( لا يفرك مؤمن من مؤمنة، إن رأى شيئًا يكرهه، رأى منها ما يحبّه)) “A believing man should not hate a believing woman. If he dislikes one quality of hers, he will find another quality that he likes.” So each spouse should focus on and appreciate the good qualities and positive things in the other. I also advise the husband to fulfill his responsibility of leadership in the marriage properly. When he does so correctly, it benefits both him and his wife. Leadership should be used for what is good for the family. I also remind the wife to fear Allah and fulfill her religious duty of obeying her husband. She should not be influenced by harmful media or by people who boast about refusing to obey their husbands. Unfortunately, some forms of media encourage women to rebel against men under the idea of “proving independence” or “having a personality.” A woman should fear Allah and obey her husband in what is right. Her husband is a major part of her path to Paradise or punishment, and she was created to worship Allah. One of the greatest acts of worship for her is fulfilling her responsibilities toward her husband. The Prophet ﷺ said: ((قد رأيتكن أكثر أهل النار، فتصدقن)) “I saw that most of the people of Hellfire were women, so give charity.” Then he explained the reason: ((تكثرن اللعن، وكفران العشير)) “Because you frequently curse and you are ungrateful to your husbands.” Meaning: some women frequently insult and curse, and they deny the good their husbands have done for them. When angry, they may say: “I have never seen any good from you.” Therefore, I ask Allah to bring hearts together upon guidance, unite the Muslims upon righteousness, teach us what benefits us, and benefit us through what He has taught us. Indeed, He is the Most Merciful. May Allah reward you with goodness. [Copied with edits] https://t.me/womensbenefits/1739
