Deze regel is gebaseerd op koranvers 2.223 en een aantal Hadith o.a. Bukhari 7.62.81, 7.62.121, 7.62.122
2.223. Uw vrouwen zijn een akker voor u – komt daarom tot uw akker, zoals het u behaagt en doet goed voor uzelf en vreest Allah en weet, dat gij Hem zult ontmoeten en geef goede tijdingen aan de gelovigen.
De korancommentaar van Ibn Kathir gebaseerd op betrouwbare hadith/overleveringen van Bukhari, Muslim en Abu Dawood geeft aan dat koranvers 2.223 over sex gaat, zie volgende link. Een echtgenoot heeft volgens dit vers de beschikking over zijn vrouw wanneer hij zin heeft. Aangezien de Koran voor het grootste deel tot mannen gericht is wordt over het vervullen van de seksuele behoeften van de vrouw niets gezegd.
Overlevering van Bukhari 7.62.81:
'Uqba heeft gerapporteerd: “De Profeet heeft gezegd: "De bepalingen (van het huwelijkscontract) die het belangrijkst zijn om te volgen zijn deze waarmee je het recht hebt om van de intieme delen van de vrouw te genieten." “
Overlevering van Bukhari 7.62.121:
Abu Huraira heeft gerapporteerd: “De Profeet heeft gezegd, "Wanneer een man zijn vrouw uitnodigt om met hem te slapen en zij weigert tot hem te komen, dan vervloeken de engelen haar tot de volgende morgen."
Page 525 of the shariah manual “Reliance of the Traveller“ states that the obligation of a wife is to give sex whenever he asks for it, within the limitations of her own religious duties. That means she is exempt during menstration or postnatal bleeding or in the month of Ramadan during the day, when fasting includes refraining from sexual intercourse.
This duty to provide sex to her husband whenever he wants to, not when she feels like, has brought legislators in islamic societies to consider marital rape as non-existent. When a man takes the right that Islam has given him, why should he be punished for it?
With news coming from Afghanistan where NATO forces have been fighting so-called “extremists” to bring a modern society, people in the West are outraged that a democratically elected Parliament votes a law that allows marital rape. Well, legislators in Afghanistan just apply a logical interpretation of shariah law, and they never made any secret of it. This should be a wake-up call for those who were thinking that Shariah law must be alright because it is based on divine scriptures.
A woman is not allowed to fast outside of Ramadan except with her husband’s permission:
If a woman wants to do extra fasting outside of Ramadan which is a recommendable deed and even necessary to catch up for the days of her menstruation during the previous Ramadan, she needs to ask permission from her husband because she will not be available to satisfy his sexual needs during those days (between dawn and sunset). See § (3) on page 682 below:
The rule comes from the following Hadith:
Bukhari 7.62.120:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A woman should not fast (optional fasts) except with her husband's permission if he is at home (staying with her)."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "It is not lawful for a lady to fast (Nawafil) without the permission of her husband when he is at home; and she should not allow anyone to enter his house except with his permission; and if she spends of his wealth (on charitable purposes) without being ordered by him, he will get half of the reward."
If a wife does fast outside of the month of Ramadan without her husbands permission, islamic law states (m11.9 (4) on page 545) that her husband does not have to provide maintenance for her during those days.
Page 526 simply states that the husbands rights regarding his wife are exactly the same as the wife’s duties: to give him sex whenever he wants to. He has no other rights.
