Question:
Salam Aleikoum Ya Shaykh,
I have been married for 3 years now and every time I have an argument with my husband it comes to blows… He always swears he does not mean it, that it is my fault because I have a sharp tongue and always tell him words that make him furious. I have tried and tried again but do not know what to do. I am very new to the tariqa, he is the one who brought me in. Can you please help me on what to do? Are there duas I can make to change myself, and the nature of our relationship?
Thank you, please forgive me.
Salam
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham said that it is not allowed for a husband to lift a finger against his wife in Islam. Prophet upon him blessings and peace never did. Try not to use fighting words but use loving words instead.
