The answer

A wife must serve her husband in the ways that her peers among women do, or what is customary for women like her. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned excellent words concerning this matter. As for what was mentioned about Umar, it is not known. It is narrated in al-Bukhari that the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not order Ali to provide a servant for Fatimah when she asked him. Instead, he directed her to tasbeeh (subhanallah), tahmeed (alhamdulillah), and takbeer (allahu akbar), which indicates that household service is not obligatory for the husband if the wife is capable of performing it.
