The husband who abandons prayer and drinks intoxicants

Question:
She says: I am a woman who married my cousin. He was gentle, calm, and kind, but after seven months of marriage, I was shocked to find that he had turned into a wolf. So, may Allah protect us, he began drinking intoxicants, smoking, abandoning prayer, and harming me. What is required of me now? Should I run away to my family and leave him and his companionship, or should I stay with him because he is my cousin?

Answer:
If he has turned into a wolf, the wolf will eat your soul. If he becomes a wolf, you do not become the wolf. Go to your family and leave the wolf until someone else eats him. We ask Allah for well-being and safety. It is necessary. The texts state that if he abandons prayer, no good remains in him. If he abandons prayer, he is a disbeliever. Even if he abandons intoxicants, that is a defect. If he drinks intoxicants, it is a defect, but abandoning prayer is more severe than that. The obligatory thing is to advise him. If Allah guides him and he returns to the right path and repents, praise be to Allah. Otherwise, you are not to stay with him. It is obligatory for you to separate from him and contact the court if he refuses divorce through the court. Establish his bad conduct against him, and the court will do what is necessary. Do not sit with him at all until he repents to Allah and turns away from his bad conduct. So, the abandonment of prayer. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
