An-Nisā‘ (The Women) : 34
An-Nisā‘ (Translation) : 34(Sahih International)
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what
they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient,
guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once
more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
An-Nisā‘ (The Women) : 35
An-Nisā‘ (Translation) : 35Sahih International
And if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his people
and an arbitrator from her people. If they both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause
it between them. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Acquainted [with all things].
So, be careful with what you mean…
Cause it may not be what they understand…
