What is the ruling if the husband apostatizes and stops praying?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I mean, if the husband apostatizes and stops praying, we look at the situation: if Allah guides him back to Islam and he returns before the waiting period ends, he remains her husband. Otherwise, it becomes clear that the marriage contract was dissolved from the moment he apostatized. Yes?
The questioner : We mentioned in the first lesson that a man married a woman... then he embraced Islam. Does the marriage continue?
The Shaykh : What did I say? What did I say?
The questioner : Does the marriage continue?
The Shaykh : It continues, unless the impediment remains.
The questioner : The impediment remains.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : The impediment remains.
The Shaykh : What is it?

The Shaykh : We say that the blessing does not occur at the lowest limit; it occurs at the highest limit. And there is no doubt that if it is limited to four, it is not the same as if it were unrestricted. So if not for the fact that the blessing... Allah the Exalted made it unrestricted.
