of disobeying him1:
a. He admonishes her.
b. If she persists, he refrains from sharing her bed.
c. If she is not deterred, he strikes her, but not severely.
552—He is barred from taking these measures if he is withholding any right owed to her.
553—If discord between them is feared, the judge shall appoint an arbiter from his family and an arbiter from hers, both knowledgeable about the circumstances and about reconciliation and separation. They shall reconcile the couple, if they deem it appropriate, with or without compensation, or separate them. Whatever they decide is binding upon both spouses. And Allah knows best.
(1) If a wife disobeys her husband, engages in *nushūz* (marital defiance), and neglects her duty to obey him despite no shortcoming on his part, her rights to marital rotation and maintenance are suspended until she resumes obedience. He should correct her conduct through admonition. See *Nūr al-Basā’ir*, p. 51.
معصيته١:
أ- وعظها.
ب- فإن أصرت هجرها في المضجع.
ج- فإن لم ترتدع ضربها ضربًا غير مُبَرِّحٍ.
٥٥٢- ويمنع من ذلك إن كان مانعًا لحقها.
٥٥٣- وإن خيف الشقاق بينهما، بعث الحاكم حكمًا من أهله وحكمًا من أهلها يعرفان الأمور والجمع والتفريق، يجمعان إن رأيا بعوض أو غيره، أو يفرقان، فما فعلا جاز عليهما، والله أعلم.
١ ومن عصت زوجها ونشزت وتركت طاعته الواجبة بلا تقصير منه سقط حقها من القسم والنفقة حتى ترجع إلى طاعته، ويقوِّمها بالوعظ. "نور البصائر، ص: ٥١".
