A husband should not demand all of his rights from his wife

Ibn Abbas on Marriage: A husband should not demand all of his rights from his wife
Abu Amina Elias • March 9, 2014

Ikramah reported: Ibn Abbas said, “I do not like to invoke all of my rights over my wife due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:

وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ

“And for men is a degree over them.” (2:228)

Abu Ja’far At-Tabari said, 

عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْتَنْظِفَ جَمِيعَ حَقِّي عَلَيْهَا لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ يَقُولُ وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مَا قَالَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ أَنَّ الدَّرَجَةَ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ الصَّفْحُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ لِامْرَأَتِهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ الْوَاجِبِ عَلَيْهَا وَإِغْضَاؤُهُ لَهَا عَنْهُ وَأَدَاءُ كُلِّ الْوَاجِبِ لَهَا عَلَيْهِ

“What Ibn Abbas said is the degree which Allah mentioned in this verse is that a man should excuse his wife from some of her obligations, he should be lenient regarding his rights over her, and he must fulfill all of his obligations toward her.”
