The husband requesting divorce from his wife who refuses hijab and prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a husband conditions his marriage on his wife observing the Islamic hijab, and she then refuses to observe it, and he advises her but she does not respond, and likewise she refuses to maintain the prayer, does he have the right to request a divorce?

Answer:
It is his right to divorce her; if he needs to, he requests it. If she does not reform, he divorces her. If she does not pray, or if she does not observe the hijab, he divorces her because of her disobedience to Allah (Mighty and Majestic).

The presenter:
May Allah send blessings upon you.
