A question over the phone
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : What do you mean?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : I mean a hint at divorcing her.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right. And she is able to stay in her parents' house.
The questioner: Of course...
The Shaykh : The problem lies here. The answer is thatMishkat al-Masabih 3696 and I think you are aware of this ruling along with the hadith. Therefore, we cannot issue a fatwa to this woman other than this one. However, we say that in addition to this fatwa, [At-Taghabun 64:16] So, if this woman is able not to obey her husband who has sworn an oath against her to do that communist thing, if she is able not to obey him, then that is what is obligatory for her. As for obeying her husband in disobedience to her Lord, that is disobedience, and as you said earlier in your question, she is not committed to it. So what do we do for her? This is the answer.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : And you, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : Welcome, and may Allah's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
