Husband . Wife . Obedience . Fard

If a husband requests his wife to wash his clothes, which is within her ability, is she obligated to comply? If he supports her and asks her to perform household chores, does that make it compulsory for her to obey in such Halal and feasible matters?

If there was an understanding between them that he spends on her more than the basic needs of food and clothes and shelter and she looks after the household matters, such understanding makes it compulsory on both of them to full fil that mutual understanding. Some people say that wife has no responsibility at all at home more than matrimonial matters for her husband, but many scholars say that the understood agreement on her responsibilities at home matters and must be obliged.

Fajr . Fard

If Fajr is at 4:30am and sunrise is at 6:30am, does that mean Fajr can be read as Fardh until 6:29am or is it made Qadha at a certain earlier point before the time of sunrise?

Fajr Prayer time is between Fajr time and sunrise. It is Fardh till the last minute before sunrise. After sunrise, it becomes Qadha.
