The ruling on a woman remaining with her husband who uses narcotics and is negligent in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A woman is with a man who commits some sins and major transgressions, such as narcotics and the like, and she is suffering from this man. She is a woman of righteousness and faith; we consider her to be so, and Allah is her reckoner. What should this woman do? She has advised him and taken an interest in getting him to leave this forbidden thing and return to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), but to no avail. What is your opinion? Should she go to her family, or should she be patient in the hope that Allah will guide him? Also, his sons are prevented from praying. We want a brief word on this topic?
Does this man who commits forbidden acts pray or not?The questioner: He prays with negligence, sometimes at home, sometimes at work, and sometimes he delays it.
Answer: I see that if she advises him and he does not benefit, she has the right to request the annulment, and the marriage is annulled. But in any case, in such matters, there may be things that prevent her from being able to annul it, because she has children with him, and problems arise in the annulment. So, if his sin does not reach the level of disbelief, there is no blame on her for remaining with him out of fear of harm. However, if it reaches the level of disbelief, such as him not praying, she should not remain with him for a blink of an eye.
