Nine Rights of a Husband upon His Wife
1. She obeys him in everything that is good but not that which is forbidden
Ibn ʿUmar (May Allāh be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet ﷺ said, “All of you are guardians and are responsible for your subjects. The ruler is a guardian of his subjects, the man is a guardian of his family, the woman is a guardian and is responsible for her husband’s house and his offspring; and so all of you are guardians and are responsible for your subjects.”
Bukharī and Muslim
Āʿishah reported that a woman from the Ansār married her daughter who had lost her hair…
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“I entered Paradise, and heard footsteps. So I said, ‘Who is this?’ and they told me, ‘It is al-Ghumaysa’ (رضي الله عنها), the daughter of Milhan, the mother of Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) (Umm Sulaym (رضي الله عنها)).”

Shaykh Ḥasan al-Ṣūmālī
The speaker touches on several points related to the topic, such as the difference between Fiqh and ʿAqīdah , following Madhaahib (schools of thought), lawful and unlawful Taqlīd (blind-following), the principle of Mālik ibn Anas in affirming the Names and Attributes of Allāh, and the position of Abū Ḥanīfah with regards to the belief that actions are not a part of īmān.

Walīd Basyouni’s endorsement for Muslims to vote for Barack Obama, his claim that Shaykh Ibn Bāz, Shaykh al-ʿUthaymīn (raḥimahumallāh) and Yusuf Qaradawi (Ikhwani Figurehead!?) and all Fiqh Councils endorse electoral voting and that Muslims practise their “political rights”.
