The answer

The Hadith "The world is an enjoyment, and the best enjoyment of the world is a righteous woman" indicates that the best thing a man can enjoy in this world is a righteous woman. It can be inferred that the best enjoyment for a woman is a righteous husband, for two reasons: First: Because women are the counterparts of men and have the equivalent of what men have, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, women are the counterparts of men." Second: Because the reason for the goodness of a righteous woman is her assistance to her husband in his faith and in fulfilling his desires in a lawful manner. Similarly, a righteous husband assists his wife in her faith and in fulfilling her desires in a lawful manner. Thus, a righteous husband is the best enjoyment for her in this world.
