Hadith on Sales (Bargains) of Sahih Bukhari 2182 is about The Book Of Sales (Bargains) as written by Imam Muhammad al-Bukhari. The original hadees is in Arabic, with translations in Urdu and English. This chapter, "The Book Of Sales (Bargains)," includes a total of one hundred and ninety-two hadiths on the subject. Below is the complete hadees of Sahih Bukhari 2182.

Narrated Salim and `Abdullah from Zaid bin Habit' Later on Allah's Apostle permitted the selling of ripe fruits on trees for fresh dates or dried dates in Bai'-al-'Araya, and did not allow it for any other kind of sale. ..

رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے مزابنہ سے منع فرمایا مزابنہ درخت پر لگی ہوئی کھجور کو ٹوٹی ہوئی کھجور کے بدلے ناپ کر اور درخت کے انگور کو خشک انگور کے بدلے میں ناپ کر بیچنے کو کہتے ہیں ..

After reading Muṣannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, 29677, we get to know that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH gave his daughter, Hazrat Fatima (RA) the duty of managing the affairs of the household while he gave his son-in-law, Hazrat Ali (RA) the duty of managing affairs outside the house.

Why then, according to majority of scholars, cooking and cleaning is not the duty of the wife? I know that the Hanafis say that it depends on which class the woman belongs to but I am trying to understand the opinion of the majority.

You mention regarding the cooking of food. Firstly, a wife is not legally even required to cook for her husband. This is the case in the three schools of Fiqh and one of the two opinions in the Hanafi Madhhab. Now, if the husband comes and asks the wife to cook a certain type of food for him, then the wife is not legally obliged, but the rewards for doing so are great.

The view of the majority is that doing cooking and other household labor is not obligatory on the wife. But it is permissible for her to do so if she does it voluntarily. And it is recommended for her to do it if the custom of the place is that women do household chores.

According to the Hanafis it is the ethical obligation of the wife but is not enforceable if she refuses. According to the Malikis it is obligatory on the wife to do the indoor tasks of the household if the custom is that women do these themselves.

Why is this the case? Because there is no clear evidence to support the claim that doing household work is obligatory on the wife. The only obligations on the wife that are made by the marriage contract are those which are required for sexual intimacy. Maintenance is actually due on the husband, and services like cooking and cleaning etc. are really a form of maintenance.

This is despite the fact that we might find reports that the sahabiyaat performed household chores. For example Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ (see Bukhari 5361) and Asma bint Abi Bakr (see Bukhari 5224 and Muslim 2182b).

If the Prophet ﷺ asked Fatima to do household chores that does not mean that it was made a religious obligation, rather it was personal advice, and Fatima voluntarily agreed to it, and Ali was not able to afford a servant anyways. Similar was the case with Asma, her husband was poor and Asma had voluntarily agreed to perform the tasks. A brief discussion of this is found in Fath al-Bari 16/351 and 15/643.

On the other hand, it is well established that providing food, clothing, maintenance and accommodation is the duty of the husband. Cooking and cleaning are services that are associated with these. Further it is also established that the maintenance should be according to the financial means of the husband and according to what is considered appropriate according to customs.

أسكنوهن من حيث سكنتم من وجدكم ولا تضاروهن لتضيقوا عليهن وإن كن أولات حمل فأنفقوا عليهن حتى يضعن حملهن فإن أرضعن لكم فآتوهن أجورهن وأتمروا بينكم بمعروف وإن تعاسرتم فسترضع له أخرى

Lodge them [in a section] of where you dwell out of your means and do not harm them in order to oppress them. And if they should be pregnant, then spend on them until they give birth. And if they breastfeed for you, then give them their payment and confer among yourselves in the acceptable way; but if you are in discord, then there may breastfeed for the father another woman.

Further it is prescribed to treat the wives with kindness, and it is against kindness to obligate her to perform services against her customs or habits and that too when it is financially possible to provide an alternate for them:
