The Wife's Obligation Toward Her Husband Who Neglects the Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, my husband is negligent in the prayer; he prays sometimes and leaves it off other times. I have three children from him. What is obligatory for me regarding this husband? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
It is obligatory to advise him. If he repents to Allah and preserves the prayer, that is fine. Otherwise, ask for separation from him. It is not permissible for you to remain with him while he does not pray, because he is a disbeliever until he repents to Allah. If he repents and preserves the prayer, you remain with him. But if he continues to abandon the prayer intentionally, he is a disbeliever, and it is not permissible for you to remain with him; rather, ask for separation. Yes.
