Question:
He says: I am a young man who subjected myself to sins, then Allah granted me guidance. After the guidance, my wife fled from me, wanting me to return to the sins. She is now with her family, and she says she will not return to me until I return to the sins I used to commit. I am confused about my situation. Should I divorce her?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 3696 If she is asking you for sins, do not obey her in that. If she submits to you, praise be to Allah; otherwise, leave her, and Allah will provide you with another wife. Another wife. This one is not suitable. One who does not want obedience, does not want repentance, and does not want this has no good in her.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”
لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالق.
