Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman asks: My husband drinks intoxicants a lot, even though he prays. Is it permissible for me to ask for a divorce from him because of his bad character?
Answer:
Yes, without a doubt. If he is addicted to intoxicants, he is an open sinner, and staying with him causes harm to you in terms of religion and worldly affairs as well. So if you demand separation to get rid of him, that is a right you have. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you,
