- Hits: How should a woman manage the expenses in her marital life?
Instead of being covetous, try to be reasonable. Spend more time and effort in looking after the well-being of your family and husband rather than trying to imitate everyone else. If your husband spends lavishly, then stop him and curb his unnecessary expenses. Instead of buying non-essential commodities, it is better to save money for a rainy day. In a tradition, the Holy Prophet (S) stated: "Any woman who is not compatible with her husband and persuades him to act beyond his capacity, then her deeds will not be accepted by Allah. She would taste the wrath of Allah on the Day of Resurrection." (1) In another tradition, the Holy Prophet (S) stated: "Any woman who is not compatible with her husband, is not content with what Allah has blessed them with, and treats her husband harshly by demanding him to give more than he is able, then her acts (or worship) are not acceptable by Allah and He will be angry with her.' (2) The Holy Prophet (S) also said: "After having faith in Allah, there is not any greater blessing than to have a compatible spouse." (3)
