Is it permissible to request a divorce if the husband consumes intoxicants?

Question:
She says: My husband consumes intoxicants. Is it permissible for me to request a divorce from him?

Answer:
Yes, if he consumes intoxicants, you may request a divorce; because remaining with him is dangerous. He may kill you, he may beat you without right, he may drag you into drinking wine, and you may assist him in that. This is a great evil. You may request a divorce; in fact, it is better to request a divorce. It is best for you to request a divorce and stay away from him. We ask Allah for guidance and safety. There is no power and no strength except with Allah. Yes.
