A wife who does not pray and does not obey her husband

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My wife does not obey me in many things, and she does not pray. I have advised her many times, but she disobeys my command. He asks: What is the advice in this matter?

Answer:
She is not lawful for you as long as she does not pray. She does not pray, she is a disbeliever, and she is not lawful for you.
And hold not to marriage bonds with disbelieving womenوَلَا تُمْسِكُوا بِعِصَمِ الْكَوَافِرِ
[Al-Mumtahanah 60:10]
If she refuses to pray, she is a disbeliever and she is not lawful for you.
