A Wife Seeking Separation in a Country with No Judge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman from outside this country. She says that there is no judge in her country. She wants to separate from her husband because her husband is afflicted with smoking, and she does not find anything to cook in the house; sometimes she finds something, and sometimes she does not. What is your advice to her in this matter?
Answer:
A judge is necessary. A Shari'ah judge. If there is an Islamic center in the country, in a land of disbelief, an Islamic center, then it takes the place of the judge. She returns to it, and it takes the place of the judge in this matter.
