Question
Some Ulama say that it is not the obligation of a wife to cook food and generally do house chores. Is this correct?
Answer
They talk bunkum. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) imposed the house duties on Hadhrat Faatimah (Radhiyallahu anha) when she married Hadhrat Ali (Radhiyallahu anha). The obligation of the husband is to earn and support his family, and the duty of the wife is to take care of the home.
