Compliance with the Husband's Request for Bed During Voluntary Fasting

Question
A husband allows his wife to fast in Shawwal verbally, and if she fasts and he requests her for bed during the fast, should she obey him or continue fasting?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If she fasts with His permission, she has the right to refrain from seeking him for intimacy; due to the permission granted by him, and God knows best.
