Men, do you help with the housework?

Question

If you do, you are more of a man than those who sit on their rumps all day shouting "woman make me a sandwich" (yeah, I'll make you sandwich alright, a knucklefist sandwich) What do you think of the following?

"Many men think that housework is beneath them, and some of them think that it will undermine their status and position if they help their wives with this work.

The Messenger of Allah (SAW), however, used to “sew his own clothes, mend his own shoes and do whatever other work men do in their homes.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad in al-Musnad, 6/121; Saheeh al-Jaami’, 4927).

This was said by his wife ‘Aa’ishah (RA), when she was asked about what the Messenger of Allah (SAW) used to do in his house; her response described what she herself had seen. According to another report, she said:

“He was like any other human being: he would clean his clothes, milk his ewe and serve himself.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad in al-Musnad, 6/256; al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 671)

She (RA) was also asked about what the Messenger of Allah (SAW) used to do in his house, and she said,

“He used to serve his family, then when the time for prayer came, he would go out to pray.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 2/162).

If we were to do likewise nowadays, we would achieve three things:

* We would be following the example of the Prophet (SAW).

* We would be helping our wives.

* We would feel more humble, not arrogant.

Some men demand food instantly from their wives, when the pot is on the stove and the baby is screaming to be fed; they do not pick up the child or wait a little while for the food. Let these Hadith be a reminder and a lesson."

In our house it depends on who is working outside the home to pay the bills.

When I am the one paying the bills with my job, my husband does the housework.

When he is earning the money for the bills, I do.

We find that this is the fairest way to do it. And the most respectful as neither one of us wants to do housework if we've been working a full shift outside the home.....
