Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling of the Shari'ah, in your view, regarding a wife who refuses to pray, even though her husband is committed to the commands of Allah?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to keep her. If she refuses to pray, he must separate from her; because the one who does not pray is a disbeliever. If he intentionally abandons the prayer, he is a disbeliever. It is not permissible to keep her while she does not pray; rather, he must separate from her. Yes.
