Abstract

One of the issues of jurisprudence and family law is about work such as cooking, washing clothes, cleaning and tidying the house. The opinion of the renowned majority of the jurists is that it is not wājib (obligatory) for the wife to do these things. However, paying attention to these topics in two chapters, nafaqah (alimony) and nushūz (material disobedience), makes this view face academic and practical problems. The unpopular opinion based on the irtikāzī (fixed way) condition considers them as the duty of the wife, which has faced serious criticism from the jurists. Therefore, it is necessary to explain the ḥukm (ruling) and give a reasonable argument on this issue. This paper, which is presented in an analytical and reasoning method, tried to pay attention to the basis of the necessity of Consorting in an honourable manner. According to this result, the wife is not entitled to wages for doing household chores, and she is also not nāshiz if she does not do these chores.

الحکم التکلیفی لقیام الزوجة بأعمال المنزل من وجهة نظر فقه الإمامیة

Abstract [العربیة]

یعد حکم قیام الزوجة بالأعمال المنزلیة من موضوعات الفقه وحقوق الأسرة؛ من قبیل إعداد الطعام، وغسل الثیاب، وتنظیف البیت وترتیبه.


والمشهور بین الفقهاء عدم وجوب هذه الأعمال على الزوجة، ولکن الاهتمام بهذا الموضوع بشکل متزامن فی کل من بابی النفقة والنشوز، أدى إلى أن یواجه هذا الرأی بمشاکل علمیة وعملیة.


ویقول الرأی غیر المشهور، استنادا إلى مبنى الشرط الارتکازی، أنّه یجب على الزوجة القیام بهذه الأعمال، وقد قوبل هذا الرأی بنقد جدی من الفقهاء. وبناء علیه یغدو من الضروری بیان الحکم فی هذه المسألة وإقامة الاستدلال الموجه علیه.


اهتمت هذه الدراسة المعدّة وفق المنهج التحلیلی الاستدلالی بمبنى لزوم المعاشرة بالمعروف، ووفقا لهذا المبنى سیکون القیام بهذه الأعمال واجباً على الزوجة، وسوف یستتبع هذا الحکم عدم استحقاق الزوجة للأجرة مقابل قیامها بهذه الأعمال، وعدم انطباق حکم النشوز علیها فی حال ترکها للقیام بأعمال المنزل.
