AL-KAFI #383 : HUKUM ISTERI MEMPERLEKEH KEPERLUAN BATIN SUAMI
What is the ruling on a wife who belittles her husband's intimate needs?
Short answer
A wife must not belittle her husband's intimate needs. Islam requires a wife to obey and assist her husband as long as she is not told to commit disobedience to God, and a hadith warns that angels curse a wife who refuses her husband's invitation until he is angry.

Summary
A wife must not belittle her husband's intimate needs. Islam requires a wife to obey and assist her husband as long as she is not told to commit disobedience to God, and a hadith warns that angels curse a wife who refuses her husband's invitation until he is angry. Disregarding his sexual or other needs without a strong reason such as harm is considered a sin and an injustice, while fulfilling those needs is regarded as an act of worship that is rewarded.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Isteri sama sekali tidak boleh bersikap sedemikian.
