Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My daughter’s husband consumes forbidden things, and my daughter has four children with him. Should I divorce my daughter from him, or what should I do? And if he purifies his wealth, is his zakat accepted?
Answer:
This is a defect in this man who uses forbidden things, such as intoxicants and others. This is a defect. You are entitled to demand that the marriage contract with your daughter be dissolved, unless he repents to Allah the Exalted. If he does not repent, you have the right to go to the court to end the marriage contract with this wicked man, because he corrupts the woman and corrupts her offspring, so it is not permissible to continue with him. However, if he repents to Allah, she is his wife, and praise be to Allah.
