The ruling on a wife who does not pray and keeping her
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence is asked, and he says: What is the ruling on a wife who did not listen to her husband and did not respond to him, while he wants to teach her the prayer?
Answer:
If she is deliberately abandoning the prayer, meaning she is of sound mind, she has intellect, she is not mentally deficient or insane, and he orders her to pray but she does not pray, then she is a disbeliever, and it is not permissible for him to keep her. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:10], and Allah the Exalted said: "And do not hold onto those you are married to until a clear sign comes from Us." This woman is a disbeliever if she persists in abandoning the prayer, then it is not permissible for her to remain in the bond of marriage, and it is obligatory for the one in authority to separate them, if it is established, otherwise...
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
