The Ruling on Being Patient with a Woman of Bad Character
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the reward for one who is patient with a woman of bad character for the sake of his grandfather?
Answer:
If he is patient with her for the sake of the women remaining and the continuation of the relationship between them, and also for the rights of the children and the benefit of the children, then he is rewarded for that, because he bears patience in the face of great benefits, so he will have the reward. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1468b So he will be pleased with her other character, or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, And the Muslim is rewarded for his patience if this patience is in the path of realizing benefits for his religion and his worldly life. Yes. May Allah reward you with good. However, he is not rewarded for his patience with the woman if the woman is disobedient or neglecting something of the rights of Allah. It is not permissible for him to be content with that and be patient with her while she is neglecting the obligatory acts of Allah or neglecting the rights of Allah or being lax in the matter of her honor and her chastity. It is not permissible for him to be patient with her, because this involves religious harm to him and his household and his offspring?
