A Fasiq Husband Who Told His Wife That Men Would Enter Her Room: Does She Have the Right to Request Divorce?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. If the husband is a fasiq and one fears him.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : If the husband is a fasiq, a fasiq husband, and one fears him, meaning the wife fears that he will let some foreign men enter upon her or something of that sort, does she leave the house?
The Shaykh : What? She fears the husband if he is alone with... her.
The questioner : Yes, where he explicitly stated it in words while he was angry. So does the wife leave her husband's house and return to her father's house, or does she stay in her house and request divorce?
The Shaykh : But he lets men enter upon her, for what?
The questioner : He spoke it with his tongue, he said.
The Shaykh : The husband says to his wife: I will let men enter upon you?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : For what purpose does he let them in?
The questioner : Ah.
The Shaykh : For what purpose does he let them in?
The questioner : This is a man, may Allah guide him, who said this word.
The Shaykh : I say: For what purpose does he let them in?
The questioner : The phrase was explicit, like that.
The Shaykh : Wait, I say: Wait.
The questioner : Meaning, she does not leave the house.
The Shaykh : She does not leave the house until people actually enter upon her. If he lets people enter upon her and forces her to stay with the men with her face uncovered, then at that time she has the right to demand divorce. But I do not think a man who believes in Allah and the Last Day, and who has the jealousy of men for their women, would do this thing. Yes, yes.
Those who fight against the hijab, without doubt, they are not fighting against the hijab; without doubt, they have a deficiency in knowledge, a deficiency in religion, and a deficiency in jealousy. And they are not to be obeyed in that. Meaning, it is obligatory for the woman to disobey her husband if he orders her to uncover her face, as an obligation. Yes.
