Does the role of qawwaam shift depending on financial responsibility?
If husband isn't the sole provider, does his role to make final calls on decisions also shift?
If the man is providing for you and then he comes across financial difficulty and is unable to provide for you. Is it reasonable to then say, you can't provide for me, I don't have to listen to you at all? When we're saying that we are placing between you love and mercy.
The man's responsibility and his position in his home is not negated simply because his bank account went down or he's unable to work.
If a man, however, willfully does not spend on his family while having that money, willfully does so as a means of harming his family, that is when his ability to make the final call changes.
But if he's not doing so out of maliciousness or intent to harm, then no it does not.
