His wife does not pray, so how should he deal with her?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. He says: My wife does not pray. I have tried with her many times, to the point that I gave her money, so she prayed for a few days, then she stopped. Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good, may Allah reward you with good. What should I do?

Answer:
It is obligatory for you to compel her to pray and not to leave her, because prayer is obligatory and abandoning it is disbelief. She is your wife and the mother of your children, so it is not permissible for you to remain silent about it and leave her while she does not pray. Either she commits to praying, or you separate from her, because it is not lawful for you to keep a woman who abandons prayer.
