A husband who is negligent in prayer and the ruling on remaining with him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is a woman who says her husband is negligent in prayer. She advises him and asks him sometimes, saying to him, "Have you prayed?" He says, "Why? Am I a disbeliever?" She asks, "Is it a sin for me? And should I live with him while I have children from him? And is my food and drink in his house forbidden?"
Answer:
If he abandons prayer entirely and does not pray, neither in congregation nor at home, and he abandons prayer intentionally, then it is not permissible for you to remain with him; rather, it is obligatory for you to demand separation from him. As for if he prays and does not abandon prayer, but he does not pray in congregation at times, this is laziness and leaving an obligatory duty. He is sinful in his action and disobedient to Allah, but this does not require you to separate from him and live elsewhere; rather, you should continue to advise him, with the continuation of advice. Yes.
