Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman has a similar question. She says: I ordered my husband to do what is right and ordered him to pray, but he does not pray. He sits with me in the room, and when I order him to do so, he says to me, "I want to be exposed to punishment, so leave me alone, or else I will have another matter with you." What should you do with him?
Answer:
Do not leave him. For this reason, it is obligatory for me to advise you and to forbid you [from leaving him]. Go to your family and prevent him from having any relation with you; he should not have intercourse or anything else. Prevent him from yourself completely.
If you have no family, prevent him from yourself. You say, "No, it is not possible except that you and I go to the court." If the court permits it and he violates the ruling, or you and I go to the court, say, "I seek refuge in Allah, and praise be to Allah." Cover yourself, fear Allah, and watch Allah. Be strong, fear Allah and watch Him. Go to your family if you have any, or prevent him from yourself. Be in one bed and he in another, until Allah judges between you by referring the matter to the authorities.
