A wife who does not pray Fajr until after the sun has risen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I wake my wife up many times for the Fajr prayer, but she does not respond to that; rather, she always prays after the sun has risen.
Answer:
Her prayer is not valid. If she does not respond and get up for the Fajr prayer, then leave her, my brother. She is not a Muslim; she is not a Muslim. She is neglecting the Fajr prayer; she is not a Muslim. If she repents, Allah will accept her repentance, so keep her. Otherwise, look for someone else.
