Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a woman’s husband does not pray, while she does pray. Does she divorce him simply because he abandoned the prayer?
Answer:
Yes, if he abandons the prayer, she reminds him that she will separate from him and remains in the waiting period. If he repents to Allah during the waiting period, she returns to him. If the waiting period ends and he has not repented, she does not return to him except with a new marriage contract. She does not return to him except with a new marriage contract if he repents to Allah and reforms. Yes.
