Q: What we know as Muslims that according to shariah man is responsible for the economic needs of his wife, but I have heard that economic responsibilities as per shariah do not include wife’s medical expenses. 

If such is the case, when in an Islamic family setup a woman is responsible to manage the house and look after her children she will have no time to earn her own income. Knowing about these circumstances when woman has no independent income because she has no employment as she was looking after the house which she is expected to do as a Muslim woman then why isn’t her husband obligated to finance her medical needs?

Q: As per Hadith no. 7054 narrated in Sahih Muslim "Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created the clay on Saturday and He created the mountains on Sunday and He created the trees on Monday and He created the things entailing labor (or hardship/displeasure) on Tuesday and He created light on Wednesday and He caused the animals to spread on Thursday and He created Adam (peace be upon him) after 'Asr on Friday..." (Sahih Muslim)." 

As per this Hadith, on Tuesday things which are hated upon/unliked are created. So I want to ask, if one is born on Monday or Friday, are they considered to be lucky/blessed? Similarly, if a person who is born on Tuesday, is that person unlucky/unblessed or unliked in the sight of Allah who has to go through a hard life?
