Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is also one of the questions that came in for this episode. This questioner says: My husband does not stand for prayer, and I am struggling with him in this matter, but he refuses strongly. My question is: Do I stay with him, or do I prioritize preserving my children and the home?
Answer:
If he insists on abandoning the congregational prayer, or on praying at its proper time but is lazy about it and lets the time pass, and you have repeatedly told him it is wrong but he did not comply, then you may ask for separation from him. Yes.
