Then you pair it up with Sunnah and ask yourself if there are any hadith demonstrating that the Prophet (SAW) ever ordered his wife around in the kitchen, and there aren’t. In fact, the hadith posted in that article is completely opposite.

The foundation of the principle of a tradition woman defined as subservient in her household tasks is not one founded in Islam. Maybe in old hindu/subcontinent culture, but not Islam.

A marriage is a partnership PCG…what kind of partner would I be if I told my husband to get his food himself after being at work all day in order to provide a decent living for me and my kids? You’re not competing with each other to see who can be more progressive…the world around you will always judge you even if you look like Cindy Crawford. Your attitude towards your partner should be one of kindness, care and concern for the other individual you’re sharing a life with. If that is not your goal, why get married? Its a lot of trouble to take just to prove a point to the world, isn’t it?

Our religion is a complete religion…there is no mystery here. If he’s earning, you’re taking care of the hearth and the home. That is your responsibility - not just your job. If your husband is doing his part and you think Allah swt will not question you as to why you didn’t take care of someone who worked so hard to take care of you - you’re wrong.
