Divorce of the wife who does not pray
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Once again, he says: I am a man who fears Allah and I pray my prayers in the best manner, as far as I can express it. My wife does not pray unless I force her to do so while she is in the house. I have advised her, but that has not helped. She has one child. I have intended to divorce her several times, but I have not done so. She is currently with her family. Should I divorce her? Please advise me, for I am in a state of confusion. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, if she has not responded to the call to prayer, divorce her. If she responds but does not accept the advice, divorce her. As for if she accepted the advice and prays, then praise be to Allah. As for if she is lost and does not pray, there is no good in her, or may Allah guide you to someone better than her, or may Allah make you a partner, for He is the One who provides an exit. Even if there were no daughters, may Allah bless you.
