\n<\/span>Columnist Raheel Raza quotes Amina Wadud, a professor of Islamic studies at Commonwealth University in Virginia, as saying, at the \u201c2nd International Muslim Leaders Consultation on HIV\/AIDS in Kuala Lumpur\u201d in May, 2003:
\n<\/span>\u201cIslam and Muslims exacerbate the spread of AIDS and\u2026.traditional Islamic theological response can never cure AIDS.\u201d She explained that Muslim women are bound to comply with their husbands\u2019 desire for sex, and can be punished if they do not. This includes women who know their husbands are HIV positive.\u201d (<\/span>Toronto<\/i> Star<\/i>, Saturday, June 21, 2003. p. L 14).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 That Islam \u201cexacerbate(s) the spread of AIDS\u201d or any other disease is gross libel and wild talk.
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 Unless husbands contracted AIDS from non-sexual causes \u2013such as tainted blood transfusion\u2013<\/span>they would not have AIDS if they were abiding by the Islamic precepts of carnal chasteness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 All\u0101h has put love and compassion between man and woman, and that he may find peace and tranquillity in his wife\u2013(Qur\u2019an 30:21; 7:189). Husbands who force themselves upon their wives or infect them with disease(s) cannot find love and compassion and peace of mind in her. Women have rights similar to those against them\u2013(Qur\u2019an 2:228).
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0Men and women are protectors of, and garments \u2013embellishments\u2013 to the other\u2013(Qur\u2019an 9:71; 2:187). Protectors and enhancers do not make demand(s) that is injurious or fatal to the other.
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 The Prophet Mohammad is reported as saying that the best among Muslims are those who are best to their wives. One who knowingly gives disease(s) to his wife is not being best to her.\u00a0<\/span>(The Muslim wife is not only loved, and loved not only because she is mated with, she is to be respected, honored and cherished). <\/span><\/p>\n

The Prophet Mohammad taught us that a person should not go to a place where there is an outbreak of plague, nor should one who is in a land with plague leave it\u2013(Bokhari, Vol. 7, # 625, 626). He also says that cattle suffering from a disease should not be mixed with healthy cattle (or do not put a patient with a healthy person)\u2013(Bokhari, Vol. 7, # 665 B).
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0Since one is not to go to a place with an epidemic so as to become infected, and not to leave a place with an epidemic so as to infect others, and since diseased animals are to be kept away from healthy ones, then the diseased husband has no right to mingle with his healthy wife.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is poor reasoning to conclude that Islam,
\n<\/span>the Religion from All\u0101h, God,
\n<\/span>would allow a man to imperil
\n<\/span>the health or life of his wife.
\n<\/span>~<\/span><\/p>\n

Ibn Warraq wrote:\u201cAccording to Muslim jurists, the husband is not obliged under Islamic law to pay for her medical expenses in case of illness.\u201d<\/span>1<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/sup><\/span><\/span>Muslim jurists may say that \u201cthe husband is not obliged under Islamic law to pay for her medical expenses in case of illness,\u201d but Allah, the Superior, says that men are the maintainers of women; and taking care of her in times of her illness is part of her maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Without doubt, men (unless they buy a new one) would pay for the repairs of their autos; and Allah did not put love and compassion between man and his automobile; but He did between man and woman\u2013one cannot get love and compassion from an auto or a neglected wife. Allah did not make man and auto garment unto the other, but He made man and woman garment unto the other\u2013and one of the functions of a garment is to give comfort; <\/i>and refusing to take care or your wife medically is not<\/i><\/strong> comfort to her.<\/i><\/span>
\nAllah did not make man and auto the mate of each other, but He made woman and man the mate of each other. Allah did not designate man and auto friends and protectors of one another, but He made man and woman friends and protectors (in every way possible) of one another; and if the Muslim man and woman are protectors of one another how much more is one to protect his wife, who is more than a \u201cfriend.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 And the noble Messenger of Allah instructs us that he is best among us who is best to his wife, (not who is best to his camel and\/or automobile), and not paying for her recovery is not<\/i> being \u201cbest\u201d to her. The Prophet also says service to the creatures of Allah is service to Allah, not<\/i> service to his auto. Not paying the bill for your wife\u2019s \u201cillness\u201d is a dis<\/i>-service\u00a0<\/i>to her. Again, the magnificent Messenger says woman is the sovereign of your house, not<\/i> that your auto is the sovereign. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Also, it is related in the Tradition of the Prophet: \u201cNarrated \u2018Aisha (All\u0101h be pleased with her): Hind bint \u2018Utba said, \u201cO All\u0101h\u2019s Apostle! Abu Sufyan is a miser and he does not give me what is sufficient for me and my children. Can I take of his property without his knowledge?\u201d The Prophet (peace and blessings of All\u0101h be upon him) said, \u201cTake what is sufficient for you and your children, and the amount should be just and reasonable\u201d\u2013(Bokhari, Vol. 7, # 277).<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 And as not paying for a wife\u2019s \u201cmedical expenses\u201d is to deprive her of \u201csufficiency\u201d then the above ruling would seem to give her the right to take from him what is sufficient for her.
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0Moreover. As woman has rights similar to those against her, if the \u201chusband is not obliged under Islamic law to pay for her medical expenses in case of illness,\u201d if the husband should become a \u201ccase of illness\u201d the wife would have the right to withhold care from him.
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 So, who are you going to follow, the \u201cMuslim jurists\u201d or All\u0101h and His Bountiful Messenger?
