What does a woman do with a husband who drinks intoxicants and abandons the 'Isha' prayer?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a questioner from France, or rather a woman from France, who says: My husband prays all the prayers except the 'Isha' prayer, for he does not pray it because he drinks intoxicants. I have advised him many times, but he has persisted in drinking intoxicants. Her question is: Is it permissible for me to ask for a divorce from him? What is your advice and guidance for me and for him in this matter?

Answer:
Try to work with him, perhaps Allah will accept his repentance and he will stop drinking intoxicants completely. It is not just that he leaves off drinking at prayer time; it is because it is vile. Intoxicants are vile, and may Allah protect us from that. Leaving off drinking is also harmful; it is harmful to health, the body, and the mind. There is no good in it. Advise him and repeat it to him, and seek help from Allah, then from his relatives and friends, perhaps Allah will save him from it.
