‘Why Men Must Satisfy Their Wives Sexually’
The Chief Imam of Area 10 ,Abuja Mosque, Sheikh Yahya Al-Yolawi, has advised husbands to ensure the satisfaction of their wives’ sexual needs in order to prevent immorality.
Al-Yolawi adduced the reasons during his Friday Jumma’at sermon titled: “The Duties and Responsibilities of Husband and Wife in Islam,” in Abuja.
According to him, there are certain men, who after marriage, do not satisfy the sexual needs of their wives.
He said: “Such people are great sinners and will be convicted in the sight of Allah.
“Husbands have a duty to satisfy their wives’ minimum sexual requirements so that they may not commit a sin by eyeing other men in order to quench their thirst.
“Allah, the most high, has granted women the right to conjugal relations with their husbands.”
Al-Yolawi admonished husbands to value their wives and never appreciate the beauty of other women in the presence of their wives.
He said: “This may lead to jealousy and suspicion in the mind of the wife.
“She would think that her husband has some feelings or relationship with that woman.
“This thought is a poison that kills matrimonial relations and should be avoided.”
Al-Yolawi said in order to maintain peace and prosperity in the home, both wife and the husband should respect and take care of each other’s opinions and emotions.
He said the anger of the husband brings to the wife nothing but tension, depression and confusion, adding that the anger of the wife brings to the husband nothing but disappointment.
He said: “This can lead to mental torture, frustration and bitterness.”
The cleric, therefore, advised couples to be patient and compassionate in their dealings and urged husbands to always express their full confidence and trust in their wives.
He added: “To prove this, husbands should hand over house keeping to their wives so that they may feel dignified and involved.
“Prophet Muhammad said that the woman is the guardian and caretaker of her husband’s house and Almighty Allah will require an account from her in this regard on the Day of Judgment.
“This will give the husband an opportunity to freely think of other things regarding the promotion, growth development and progress of his career or business.”
Similarly, the cleric urged husbands to take responsibility over financial obligations of their wives, which include dowry, feeding, clothing, accommodation and general spending.
Al-Yolawi also appealed to those that marry more than one wife to be just, fair and show equality between them and treat them in decent, kind, love and respectful manner.
