What are the husband's rights over his wife?

The husband's main rights are his wife's obedience in what is right (ma'ruf), her guarding herself and her husband's property, and not admitting into the home anyone the husband dislikes.
Allah describes the righteous wife as obedient and guarding herself in her husband's absence. The Prophet ﷺ forbade a wife from fasting voluntarily while her husband is present except with his permission, and from letting anyone into the house without his permission. The wife is also made responsible as guardian of her husband's household. But this obedience is limited to what is right: there is no obedience in sin. The husband's rights come with the responsibility of leadership and maintenance; they are not absolute power. See Rights of husband & wife.
