I have a question about sexual duties. Recently, my husband has been prioritizing my needs over his prayers. While I appreciate his devotion, it has made it necessary for me to schedule sexual intimacy in advance. How should I handle this situation?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Obligatory Prayers must be performed within its timings and nothing can be more important than performing the obligatory prayers. You should not allow any action which contradicts or causes not performing any obligatory prayers. You should help your husband to perform every obligatory Prayer within its timings and never make any schedule which contradicts any obligatory prayers.

If a husband engages in drinking or adultery, is the wife still required to fulfill her responsibilities, such as cooking and intimacy, or can she refuse him and choose to live separately until he repents?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Wife must fulfill her duties towards her husband even if the husband is a bad person committing sinful acts. Husband suns are on him but it can never exempt his wife from her duties as a wife. Her suffering because of her husband's bad deeds will add in her reward as patient person as lady Asian tolerated her very bad husband Firaon.

Wife can not refuse her husband nor live separately. Yes she should never help him in any wrong act.

Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Our duties towards Allah The Creator, is to know that He is The Only God, Who Created us and Showered and Showering on us every bounty and Protected us from every evil and harm. We must always thank Him and use His bounties in the proper way and never in doing wrong. Performing obligatory prayers on time and obeying Allah in each and every act or thought is the sign of the believers in Allah.

‘Fulfilling our duties towards His creation is to help others in every good cause we can and to talk to them in the same way we wish them talk to us, and treat them in the same way we wish them treat us.

Allah States in Quran: Verily, Allah Orders in Justice  and Fairness and being good to kinship, and Forbids evil and wrong and injustice. (Sura 16, Verse 90).
