Comparing one's husband to other men
Q: What if someone feels intensely jealous of others and they just don't naturally find contentment in their heart when they look at their own blessings? Like a woman loves her husband and can't imagine life without him but unconsciously, she compares him with other men.
Does this mean that she doesn't actually love her husband in truth? She is disloyal to him?
She can't find it inside her heart to be happy although there is nothing wrong with the man. He has good character but her eyes just seem to be trained on others, ignoring what she has.
Please give a general advice on jealousy and if this means that the woman is not loyal.
A: It is wrong for her to make this kind of comparison because this will then lead to her not appreciating what she has got. And there could be a shaytaani trick where she will then admire other men. What a great fitnah this can be. She must make taubah for this and make shukr to Allah Ta`ala for what she is enjoying.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
