The questioner: Our Shaykh, we have asked this question before. We were studying at the House of the Noble Qur'an in Kuwait.
The Shaykh : And where?
The questioner: In Kuwait, the House of the Noble Qur'an, memorizing the Qur'an, you know, things like that.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: So we had a Shaykh once who raised the issue: that if a man contracts marriage with his wife and she does not pray, or he does not pray, then his contract is invalid?!
The Shaykh: That is a Saudi fatwa.
The questioner: Ah, a Saudi fatwa!
The Shaykh: No, that is a mistake.
The questioner: There were many such fatwas that harmed people for many years.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: I have been living with my wife for ten or twelve years. I contracted the marriage, and it is permissible even if I was not praying or she was not praying, so is my contract invalid?!
