Islam stresses great importance on the intimate relation between the husband and wife. There are some prophetic hadiths which teach us what should we do in that case. A Husband is required to do his best to satisfy his wife emotionally and the wife should do the same. A Husband should not leave his wife’s bed without any justification. It is agreed upon that the maximum time for this abandonment is not more than four months.
Dr. Marawan Shahin, Professor of Hadith and its Sciences, Faculty of Usul Ad-Din (Theology), Al-Azhar Univ. states: “The maximum time in which the husband could abandon his wife is four months only. Then the wife has the right to issue a court summon or go to a judge to find a solution for her. The only exception is the case when the husband is physically unwell. In that case the wife has to wait to see what doctors will say about his situation.
Usually husbands are recommended to care for their wives’ emotions. It is the wife’s right to feel satisfaction in everything, i.e., emotions, good treatment, high care, etc. ”
We should bear in mind that fulfilling one’s desires as Allah ordains is something by which we get reward as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) told us.
