Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I have a sister who quarrels with her husband, who is a Sufi in his creed and methodology. He beats her, does not feel jealousy for her, and does not order her to observe hijab. Rather, he allows his non-mahram brothers and friends to shake her hand and talk to her. His question is: Is it permissible for her, according to the Shari'ah, to request a divorce through the court? If that is permissible, what is your advice to me, as her brother, and what is your advice to her?
Answer:
The court, praise be to Allah, she takes her matter to the court, and the judge looks into whether she is truthful or not, and then he implements whatever he sees of the Shari'ah rulings regarding her. Yes.
