A woman remaining with a husband who persists in sins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman who says she is married to a man who has not left any of the immoral acts, may Allah protect you. She says, “I have been with him for years, and I advise him, but he does not stop.” Her question is: Is it permissible for me to remain with him? I am in a pitiable state regarding him.
Answer:
By Allah, this is her statement. We do not know about the man’s condition. She goes to the court and summons the man, and they discuss it there. If what the woman claims is established in the court, the court has the authority, yes.
