The ruling on a woman remaining with her husband who abandons prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. This is Umm 'Ali, may Allah keep you safe. She says: Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. I have been married for ten years and I have four children, but my husband is negligent in his prayer. What do you advise me to do, since I have grown weary of advising and guiding him?
Answer:
If he does not pray, it is not permissible for you to remain with him; because he exits from Islam. Whoever abandons prayer intentionally exits from Islam, may Allah protect us from that. It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to remain with a non-Muslim. She should seek a divorce, or he should pray and maintain the prayer. Yes.
