him and she refuses to come to him, then the angels and their curses<br />

1 However. a woman should not fast (optional<br />
fast) except with the permission <strong>of</strong> her husband. Abu Hurairah<br />
narrated that the Prophet said, "A woman should not fast (optional<br />
fast) except with her husband's permission if he is at home (staying<br />
with her).<br />
2 This is because fasting may prevent him from practising<br />
his marital rights as a husband. The only reason for insisting on this<br />
point is because a wife dantigg herself to her husband in this respect -<br />
may make him commit adultery.<br />
