What is the ruling on a woman remaining with her husband who abandons the prayer?

The questioner : And her husband does not pray.

The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.

The questioner : What is the ruling?

The Shaykh : Her husband does not pray, what?

The questioner : He has been like this for fifteen years.

The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.

Another questioner : We got married, I mean.

The Shaykh : Yes, but in a question like this, I say that behind the question, many women ask this question,

Another questioner : They do not ask our Shaykh except after becoming committed.

The Shaykh : After starting.

Another questioner : I mean, after she became, and she was, I mean, she was like her husband.

The Shaykh : I mean, following.

Another questioner : Then following.

The Shaykh : The point, may Allah bless you. The answer is indeed that it is not permissible for her to remain his wife. So, does she do it? She does not do that. Most of those who ask, when we give them the ruling, the response comes immediately: "I have such and such a child, what do I do?" I say: What are you asking? Do you want Allah's ruling? This man is an open sinner and a transgressor, and according to some of the opinions of contemporary scholars today, this is a disbeliever who abandons prayer, a disbeliever. So, is it permissible for you to live under the protection of a disbeliever, or at least an open sinner? It is not permissible. What do I do? Where do I go? Like this? If you stay silent.

Another questioner : Children.

The Shaykh : You forget.

Another questioner : A simple question.

The Shaykh : Or you bear the consequence.

Another questioner : And the consequence is undoubtedly bitter in this time.

The Shaykh : Allah did not will except... Allah is the Greatest. Our Shaykh, by the way.

The questioner : In this speech, I mean. Before me, he used to divorce some of the women who had their marriages annulled from their husbands because of abandoning prayer, and he would say to them: "The noble one, may Allah compensate you with good for them." Yes, so she says: "As you said, where do we go with the children, and where do we go?" The Shaykh says: "May Allah compensate you with good for them."

Another questioner : This is a word of embellishment, like our story, I mean.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Excuse me, I did not understand, I mean, compensate what?

The questioner : I mean, because of her leaving the children, I mean, she is cut off from Allah the Exalted. I mean, no

The Shaykh : for them, Allah.

Another questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, Allah.

Another questioner : Yes, indeed, the Shaykh is the well-known Shaykh, I mean. This matter is the same, whether we say the husband is an open sinner for abandoning prayer or a disbeliever, they are separated, I mean, this is well known.

The Shaykh : Move them, move them, please.
