; Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said in his Fatāwā 2/234–235:

“Scholars have disagreed as to whether the wife is obliged to serve her husband in matters such as making the household beds, handing him food and drink, baking bread, grinding grain, preparing meals for his slaves, tending his animals—feeding his mount and the like.

Some maintained that such service is not obligatory. This view is weak, just as the opinion that he is not obliged to show affection or consummate the marriage is weak; for that is not living with her in kindness. Even a travel companion—who is merely one’s equal—or someone sharing the same dwelling, if he fails to help with the other’s needs, has not treated him well.

The correct view is that service is obligatory, for the husband is her master according to the Book of Allah, and she is in his charge by the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, as noted above on p. 270. One who is captive or a slave must serve, and this is what custom dictates.

Among those who hold this opinion, some restrict the obligation to light service, while others say she must serve in the manner recognized as customary. This last is the correct position: she must render the customary service expected of a woman of her standing.”
