The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: If the wife converts to Islam and the husband refuses...

The Shaykh:
Hmm?

The questioner:
If the wife converts to Islam and the husband refuses, is it permissible for her to allow him to have intercourse with her?

The Shaykh:
If the wife converts to Islam and the husband refuses, how is that? If the wife converts to Islam and the husband refuses to annul the contract. Islam means, or her father means? The husband refuses to annul the contract. He has no ruling; if she converts, the marriage is automatically annulled from him without his permission and without taking his consent. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, he says. If he converts during the waiting period, she is returned to him, and if the waiting period ends and he has not converted, she is divorced from him.
