Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A married woman with children who lives with her husband in one room. The husband listens to songs and watches what is wrong on television, and she is distressed. If she objects, the husband gets angry with her. Is she sinful for objecting? And what do you advise her?

Answer:
She is rewarded for her objection, because this is forbidding what is wrong. If she objects to her husband regarding listening to what is wrong and watching what is wrong, she is rewarded, because this is part of forbidding what is wrong. She would only be sinful if she remained silent and did not forbid him. She is required to continue advising him and not sit with him in the room where he watches what is wrong; she should not sit with him in it. Yes, she should separate from him to another room, she and her children, until he repents to Allah the Exalted and Majestic and leaves this thing. Yes.
