Major Sins # 18
Not allowing husband to have marital relations
for no legitimate reason
Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "If a man calls his wife to his bed,
and she refuses, and he goes to sleep angry with her, the angels will curse her
until morning." (Reported by al-Bukhaari; see al-Fath, 6/314).
Many women, when they have an argument with their husbands, "punish" them - so
they think - by denying them their marital rights. This may result in major
corruption if the husband is tempted to do something haraam, or it may backfire
on the wife if the husband starts to think seriously of taking another wife.
A wife should hasten to respond to her husband's call if he wants her, in
obedience to the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him): "If a man calls his wife to his bed, let her respond, even if she is
riding on the back of a camel (i.e., very busy)." (See Zawaa'id al-Bazzaar,
2/181; see also Saheeh al-Jaami', 547).
At the same time, the husband must show consideration towards his wife if she
is sick, pregnant or depressed, so as to maintain harmony and prevent
discontent or hatred.

Prohibition of Drawing Portraits
Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: I heard the Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) saying, "Every painter will go to Hell, and for every portrait he
has made, there will be appointed one who will chastise him in the Hell." Ibn
`Abbas said: If you have to do it, draw pictures of trees and other inanimate
things.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary:
A painter will be punished for his paintings according to the number of his
products. The greater the number of paintings he has produced, the more would
be the punishment. Thus, there is a great warning for those who make films and
photographs on marriages and functions because they make photographs of
hundreds or thousands of persons at a time. If, in spite of knowing that this
act is unlawful in Shari`ah, they do it on account of slackness on their part,
they shall have to suffer heavy punishment for it in Hell. If they think that
it is permissible in Islam, while it is forbidden, they would be regarded
infidels and abide in Hell. It is absolutely wrong to think that this
prohibition applies only to the painters or sculptors and that photographs
taken by a camera is not a picture but a mere reflection and, therefore, one is
exempted from their prohibition. Whether a picture is made by hand or camera or
video, it is a picture and its maker is warned
with Hell. May Allah save us from it. However, pictures of natural scenery
which are lifeless are permissible.
