The ruling on a woman remaining with a husband who does not pray
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. I noticed that Shaykh Salih, in her letter, describes this man as one who does not pray and does not pay zakah, and she is thus seeking your advice, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
If he does not pray in the sense that he abandons the prayer entirely and never prays at all, then it is not permissible for her to remain with him; rather, it is obligatory for her to seek separation,
The questioner:
and that is it.
The Shaykh:
seeking separation; because it is not permissible for her to stay with a man who does not pray; because the one who abandons the prayer intentionally is a disbeliever, and a Muslim woman does not remain with a disbeliever, but rather she seeks separation from him,
