The questioner : Shaykh, we asked this question before; we were studying at the House of the Noble Qur'an in Kuwait.
The Shaykh : Where?
The questioner : In Kuwait, the House of the Noble Qur'an, for memorizing the Qur'an, you know, these kinds of things.
The Shaykh : Ah
The questioner : We had a shaykh once who raised the issue: that every person who contracted a marriage with his wife, and she does not pray, or he does not pray, then his contract is invalid?!
The Shaykh : This is a Saudi fatwa.
The questioner : Ah, a Saudi fatwa!
The Shaykh : No, this is a mistake.
The questioner : These were many fatwas that hurt people, for many years.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I have been living with my wife for ten or twelve years, married, and it is permissible that I was not praying, or she was not praying, so my contract is invalid?!
