Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A woman married a man, and after she bore him two sons, yes, he says: A woman married a man, and after she bore him two sons, her husband started working in a riba bank. So is she sinful for remaining with him? And is it better for her to seek a khul' (divorce at the wife's request for compensation) from him?
Answer:
Does he have no income except from the bank? If he has no income except from the bank, then she should demand a khul' or divorce from him. But if he has income from the bank and from other sources, then there is no harm in her remaining with him, because it is not required that everything he spends comes from the bank. Yes.
