Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Intimate relation is a mutual issue between the spouses. Apart from the wife fulfilling her marital obligations, it is important that the husband takes the feelings, tempo etc. of the wife into consideration before becoming upset. By the husband forcing the issue upon the wife, sometimes it could create estrangement in the marriage. Instead of the husband worrying about the sin of refusing him his marital right, rather talk to her and enquire if she experiences any difficulty in doing so. By the husband forcing the issue upon the wife, she will eventually feel used for this purpose and become de moralized which could possibly ruin the marriage and complicate matters further.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Wassalamu Alaykum
