Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling in the Shari'ah, in your view, regarding a wife who refuses to pray and says that she prays in her room, even though her husband constantly encourages her to pray at its proper time?
Answer:
He must compel her to pray. If he knows that she does not pray despite his ordering her to do so, he must separate from her, because she is not a Muslim. Yes.
