Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister who is asking says: A woman is suffering from her husband’s negligence, and she has been patient with him after he gave her a group of sons and daughters. Does she have a reward if she has been patient and was unable to change him? For example, his negligence in performing the prayer: he prays it at home, stays up late with his companions, curses and abuses a lot, and does not care about his sons and daughters.
Answer:
As long as she disapproves of it and advises him, she has fulfilled her duty. But if she is content with his abandoning the congregational prayer and does not advise him, that is not permissible for her. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
