The woman who emigrated alone while her husband refused to emigrate

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman from France who says that her husband is not committed to the religion and he attacks the scholars. She asked him to emigrate to a Muslim country, but he refused. The woman says: I emigrated to a Muslim country to save my religion, and I asked him for a divorce, but he refused. Her question is: Is it permissible for her to remain alone in this Muslim country to which she emigrated?

Answer:
Yes, she remains with the Muslims. Even if he comes to her, he is a Muslim. Yes. Indeed. He becomes one who abandons emigration and is disobedient in this matter. So she did what is prescribed, praise be to Allah. She remains. If he has a desire for her, he comes. If he has no desire for her, she has done what is obligatory upon her. Yes.
