Marital Rights

A fatwa translated into English in which Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed answers the following question, "I have been married for approximately two and a half years but my husband does not become intimate with me except every three or five months approximately. He always gives excuses such as sickness or being bewitched or lack of financial stability. He does not show me any affection at all. Every time I speak frankly to him about the matter, he comes up with ready-made excuses. Please note that he does not suffer from any physical problems, as he says, and he refuses to go to the doctor. In the end, I told his family about the matter and they spoke to him, but it was of no benefit. He is putting pressure on me to seek treatment in order to become pregnant and I do not know how it can happen. I am fed up and I do not know what to do. If my family finds out about my situation, this will definitely result in divorce. Please note that we have been to a number of religious shaykhs, all of whom confirmed that the evil eye is involved, but nothing has helped us. To be frank, I am afraid that I may fall into immoral actions. I hope that you can explain to me what I have to do, and in the case of divorce, what are my rights?"

A question answered by Shaikh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid regarding: "I divorced my wife irrevocably but I want to take her back. I know that tahleel marriage (i.e., marriage to another man in order to get divorced from him so that she can go back to her first husband) is haraam, and that in order for me to marry her again, she has to marry another person in a genuine marriage, not one that is a trick in order to make it permissible for me to marry her. All of these things will take time. Is there any other, shorter way for me to take her back?"

A fatwa in English in which Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed (may Allah preserve him) answers the following question, "I have a problem with my husband i.e. I know that I am supposed to go to him when he calls me to his room, even if I'm not in the appropriate mood. I also know that lying is a despicable thing, but pleasing my husband is utmost thing on my mind. So is it wrong of me to fake having a sexual climax with my husband? This is a terrible problem for me, because I don't want to lie, but it embarrasses my husband if he cannot fulfill my pleasure. This pretending is hard to stop, and also extremely embarrassing for me to admit to my husband. Please help me, and also remember me in your supplication!"

A fatwa in English in which Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed (may Allah preserve him) answers the following question, "I have a question that everyone I asked had a different answer for. Does the Muslim have to say anything during the sexual intercourse “nikah”? And does the Muslim “husband and wife” have to pray before the first day of sexual intercourse “nikah”? Thank you for having this website to help us understand our religion more!"
