A woman requesting divorce from a husband who deals in riba

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Any woman who asks her husband for a divorce without a valid reason, the fragrance of Paradise is forbidden to herأيما امرأة سألت زوجها الطلاق من غير ما بأس فحرام عليها رائحة الجنة
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 8:1348
. The questioner says: Her husband deals in riba and commits some forbidden acts. Does this permit her to request a divorce from him?

Answer:
There is no harm in the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) saying that. And there is harm in the fact that he consumes riba and deals in it; there is harm in that. Does she request a divorce from him? Yes.
