Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some husbands, may Allah guide them, do not divorce their wives.
Answer:
On this basis, the husband should, if he sees something wrong in his wife, not rush to deal with it gently. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 3687Sahih (Darussalam) And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, " So if she has a picture of her father, her brother, or some of her children, do not rush. Advise her and say, "This picture should be destroyed," and do not rush, neither in divorce nor in anything else. Wrong things are resolved with ease; there should be no haste in them. Then, forbidding evil is first by hand, then by word, then by heart, according to the established rule. So do not rush in matters, and be gentle so that you do not cause problems and separation that you will regret. Yes.

Whoever is deprived of gentleness, he is deprived of goodness.
من يحرم الرفق يحرم الخيرGentleness does not enter into anything except that it adorns it, and it is not removed from anything except that it disfigures it
الرفق لا يكون في شيء إلا زانه ولم يزرع من شيء إلا شانه
