Asalaamu Caleykum brothers/sisters
I have a Question to ask and it was in my mind for a long time.
Should husbands do household chores?
As i notice most of somalian man don't help and it is not what the religion says it is cultur can we change that culture.
why i say it is not a religion becouse Aisha (ra) narrates: 'Allah's Messenger used to patch his sandals, sew his garment and conduct himself at home as anyone of you does in his house. He was a human being, searching his garment for lice, milking his sheep, and doing his own chores.' Source : Tirmidhi 5822
and also The Prophet (SAWS) helped his wives with chores.
You should be an example of him.
A husband should definitely perform household chores, especially if his wife is also working. He should help with the children; he should help with the house.what is wrong brothers aren't you humen.

leave somalimen alone. talk about your husband or the one you see not helping his wife.
we see everyday thousands of somalimen helping their wives. It is neither culture nor religion but indiviual preference. |

Sister Muna: I am very delighted to see such a open minded sister. I am Married man, and I really do believe that, it is not only good for the family, but also good for my family sake. Nevertheless, I encourage not to over-emphesize it. The reason being, Somali men are quite sensative about this whole issue. I think it has been said before that, "Croll before you walk." As a somali brother I would like to remind you that, "every journey starts with one step." I was brought up by a mother who believed in co-operation is the key. Finally, if you are married, and i assume you are, please read a book called, "how to influence friends and foe.
Later sister. |
