Question:
May Allah reward you. A woman complains about her husband, saying that he is of bad character, bad religion, and he insults the religion, may Allah protect us from that, constantly and over the most trivial matters. And if she speaks to him or asks him for something, she or her children, he is in that state. How should they deal with him? May Allah reward you with good. And should she stay with him in the house despite the children? May Allah grant you success.
Answer:
If he insults the religion, it is apostasy from the religion of Islam, and if he becomes an apostate, he is not lawful to her. He is not lawful to her until he repents to Allah before her waiting period ends; otherwise, she must separate from him, because a Muslim woman does not remain with a disbeliever. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:10], and He said: “And do not take the polytheists as allies until they…” [Al-Baqarah 2:221]. The one who utters the words of apostasy, such as insulting Islam, insulting the religion, mocking the religion, or other types of apostasy, must be given the opportunity to repent. If he repents, well and good; otherwise, he is to be killed, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Ibn Majah 2535Sahih (Darussalam). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.

Allah the Exalted said:
then do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful
فَلَا تَرْجِعُوهُنَّ إِلَى الْكُفَّارِ لَا هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَّهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحِلُّونَuntil they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember.
حَتَّىٰ يُؤْمِنُوا وَلَعَبْدٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ خَيْرٌ مِّن مُّشْرِكٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكُمْ أُولَٰئِكَ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى النَّارِ وَاللَّهُ يَدْعُو إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَالْمَغْفِرَةِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَيُبَيِّنُ آيَاتِهِ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَWhoever changes his religion, execute him.
من بدل دينه فاقتلوه،The blood of a Muslim is not lawful except in one of three cases: the married person who commits zina, the one who takes a life for a life, and the one who leaves his religion and separates from the community.
لا يحل دم امرئ مسلم إلا بإحدى ثلاث، الزين والزاني، والنفس بالنفس، التارك لدينه، المفارق للجماعة.
