She says, “I am a married woman with five children, and for a long time I have been having problems with my husband in that he lies to me a lot about most things.”

The questioner : A message reached us from the distressed woman, S. M. B., from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, in which she says, “I am a married woman with five children, and for a very long time I have been having problems with my husband in that he lies to me a lot about most things. I get angry with him and ask him not to lie to me, so he swears on the mushaf not to lie to me again, but he has never been able to refrain from lying. And I cannot bear the lying. The second problem is that he is very suspicious to the extent that he suspects me with the people closest to me, such as his son from another woman. I ask for a solution to these two problems?”

The Shaykh : A solution to these two problems is not actually with us; that is not a legal issue that we can answer. However, we direct the asking sister to the path of solving these two problems, which is for her and her husband to look into a group of people of knowledge and religion and insight, so that they may bring them together upon what they should be in terms of good companionship and good conduct. Yes.
