The Husband Who Does Not Guard His Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The husband says: She is not careful about the prayer. What should he do with her, given that we have advised her many times?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to compel her to pray. It is not enough that he merely orders her; he must enforce it. Even if this leads to disciplining her and striking her, provided the strike is not severe or harsh. He must not let her be lazy about the prayer, as she is his wife. If she persists and continues in that state, let him divorce her and marry another, a righteous woman. Yes.
