Imam Youssef Soussi stated that what in Western liberal parlance is considered “control” or “spousal abuse” Within the Islamic framework, it is the husband's obligation.. “When I come across expressions like ‘controlling husband’ or ‘abusive husband’, I'm not knocked off my chair. Because, viewed through liberal language, that's negative, but in Islam it can simply translate as responsibility,” he noted.
According to Soussi, the man is responsible before God for his wife's behaviour. This includes, he says, know who they associate with, where they go and how they dress. And it is so because “the husband will have to answer for it on the day of judgment. Therefore, If he tells his wife, ‘You can't go out dressed like that’, it's not abuse: it's his duty. religious as a guardian ”(protector)“, he emphasised. According to the imam, applying Western categories to Islam is a mistake: ”We cannot bring this language into Islam", he warns.
Against adapting the discourse for Westerners
During his speech, Youssef Soussi harshly criticised the imams who, in his view, adapt their language to please Western audiences. He cited as an example those preachers who talk about “50/50” marriages, where husband and wife share responsibilities equally.
Soussi warned that this accommodation to Western liberal language weakens the faith of young Muslims. According to him, Many young people distance themselves from mosques and conventions because they feel that religious leaders keep repeating predictable messages to them. On the obligations of men and the rights of women, but they avoid controversial topics for fear of losing followers. For the preacher, this lack of courage in confronting uncomfortable issues contributes to alienating the faithful and betraying the religious mandate to speak “the truth, even if it is bitter.”.
