Question:
A married woman says: Her husband does not perform the full ritual bath after intercourse. She reminded him and told him that it is not permissible for him to pray after intercourse unless he performs the full ritual bath. However, he does not perform the full ritual bath until after the sunset prayer, and he prays two obligatory prayers or more while in a state of major ritual impurity. Is it permissible for her to request a divorce from him for this matter?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to remain with him; it is obligatory for her to separate from him. This is because he does not pray; the one who prays while in a state of major ritual impurity, his prayer and its omission are both bad. This is one who abandons the prayer, so it is not permissible for her to remain with him ever, except if he repents to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and commits to performing the full ritual bath from major ritual impurity and performing the prayers in congregation at their appointed times. As for if he persists in this state, it is not permissible for her to remain with him; rather, it is obligatory for her to separate and stay away from him. Yes.
