A man abandoning his wife for nine years

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says — or rather, he asks about the ruling on a man who has abandoned his wife for nine years. She is living in one house, and he is in another, and he has children from her.

Answer:
If this is because she is the one who mistreated him, then boycotting her because of her mistreatment is permissible. However, if it is without a reason, it is forbidden for him, and it is a severing of her right over him.
