Aisha, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), was asked, “What did the Prophet (ﷺ) use to do in his house?” She replied, “He used to keep himself busy serving his family (كَانَ يَكُونُ فِي مِهْنَةِ أَهْلِهِ) and when it was the time for prayer he would go for it.” (Bukhari)

The word used in the hadith is mihnah (مِهْنَة), which is translated as ‘busy serving’ here, also means in the Arabic language ‘work’, ‘job’, ‘profession’, etc. This implies helping your wife in the house is a full time job as well. Whether it’s helping wash the dishes, cooking, cleaning, raising the kids, etc., is all part and parcel of being the ‘man’ of the house.

In another report Aisha is reported to have said, “He did what one of you would do in his house. He mended sandals and patched garments and sewed.” (Adab Al-Mufrad graded sahih by Al-Albani)

In yet another report it is said that she said, “He milked his goat.” (Ahmad)

Hence, he did not find such things too ‘womanish’ for him to do. It is no wonder that he said, “The best of you is the one who is best to his wife, and I am the best of you to my wives.” (Tirmidhi; Ibn Majah)
Mending shoes and patching garments is ‘manual’ work. Men are generally expected to do all of the fixing and mending so I don’t get what you’re trying to prove. It’s the woman’s job to cook and clean.
 
Been doing that at hooyo’s house my whole life, so when i get married and pay bills n shit best believe i ain’t doing none of that. shiiid that’s her job
So I’m assuming you will be working at least 10 hours 6 days week bringing in 6 figures and cover 100% of the family’s bills plus some? You’ll buy a comfortable home for the family, and she’ll live comfortably and be able afford to hire a babysitter or housecleaner or landscaper at will and have full health coverage and there will be a nice savings account, correct? If your answer is no to any of the above...then what makes you feel so entitled that you will never lift a finger? Smh

According to Shafi school, a wife is entitled to wages for doing so – if she decides not to do so as an act of charity. Her refusal to do so is not an act of disobedience and he cannot withhold her support if she refuses.

Imam Abu Ishaq al-Shirazi mentioned Al-Muhaddhab:

“A woman is not required obliged to serve her husband by baking, grinding flour, cooking, washing, or any other kind of service, because the marriage contract entails, for her part, only that she let him enjoy her sexually, and she is not obligated to do other than that.”

If the husband cannot afford to pay wages, he needs help with his wife to avoid burden.

Also, a husband must provide payment for breastfeeding and pregnancy to his wife/ves


"And if they should be pregnant, then spend on them until they give birth. And if they breastfeed for you, then give them their payment and confer among yourselves in the acceptable way; but if you are in discord, then another woman may breastfeed for the father." (65:6)
 
my families weird compared to yours. Since we only have one daughter (youngest) and 2 older brothers we have to do most of the chores ike vacuuming, cleaning the dishes. Once I get married hell no I won't clean another thing in my life

Helping around the house is normal, and people should do it. Keyword here is "helping", it's like when you're a spotter and you're helping your friend in his last rep. Someone is clearly doing the heavy lifting and it's not you.

Why you stressing so much over a comment you and that angela girl need to relaxxx, it’s not good for your health.

but yhh I’ll buy all those things you mentioned as long as it makes you sleep well at night.
 
In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with a husband helping around with the chores. Keeping active keeps you healthy, it also earns you brownie points with the wife :gnzbryw:

Plus, the prophet PBUH used to help his wives do everyday tasks in the home. So, if you're a good Muslim you should imitate the prophet's PBUH actions as well.

You missed the message behind it shes pointing out how the guy feels entitled to not lift a finger in his home simply cause he pays bills
Being a housewife is easy unless you live in a big house. It’s like a couple hours of chores then you have the rest of the day to yourself. Why do all the women on sspot get mindbroken over this?
