Household
chores are from the Sunnah
The learned scholar, Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen –Rahmatullaah alayhi-
said:
“When a person is at home then it is from the Sunnah, that
for example he makes his own tea, cooks if he knows how to and washes up that
which needs washing, all of this is from the Sunnah.
If you do this then you get the reward of following the
Sunnah, with imitating the Messenger –alayhi as-Salat wa sallam- and in
humbling yourself for Allaah - the Mighty and Majestic.
This also brings about love between you and your wife. When your family sense that you help them in their chores they will love you and your value to them will increase, therefore, this will end up being a great benefit.”
