The Ruling on Dealing with the Wife and Neighbors of One Who Abandons Prayer and Curses the Religion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the nature of the relationship with a neighbor who does not pray or fast, who supports the communists, consumes intoxicants, is undutiful to his parents, harms his neighbors, and curses Allah and the religion, may Allah protect us from that? Then how should one deal with his wife who prays, and his young children?
Answer:
If the reality is as the questioner described, then it is obligatory to boycott him and cut off relations with him, and to report his case to the authorities, such as the court or the committee, so that his case is examined and the ruling of Allah is implemented against him; because his harm is great and his danger is significant.
Therefore, it is obligatory to report his case to the one in authority so that the ruling of Allah is executed against him. It is not permissible for his neighbors to visit him, keep him as a companion, or invite him to a wedding feast or the like. Rather, they must boycott him and cut off relations with him.
It is also obligatory for his Muslim wife to distance herself from him and go to her family. It is not permissible for her to remain with him as long as he is in this state; because he has committed acts of apostasy: cursing Allah is apostasy, abandoning prayer is apostasy, and supporting the communists, believing that they are correct, or that their matter is permissible, or that there is no harm in it; all of this is apostasy from Islam. We ask Allah for safety.
So the conclusion is that such a person must be reported to the one in authority if he is in an Islamic land. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good. You are asking about the relationship with his wife who prays, and the relationship with his children?
The Shaykh: We have stated that it is obligatory for her to distance herself from him; so it is not permissible for her to remain with him.
The presenter : This wife?
The Shaykh: The wife. Rather, she must go to her family; because it is not permissible for her to be the wife of a disbeliever while she is a Muslim. Rather, she must distance herself from him, and it is not permissible for her to remain with him, nor to allow him access to her, whether by kissing, intercourse, or otherwise. Rather, she must move away from him; because Allah has forbidden a Muslim woman to marry a disbeliever. Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Mumtahanah:10]. He said -Exalted and Majestic is He-: [Al-Baqarah 2:221] Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful [husbands] for them
لا هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَهُمْ وَلا هُمْ يَحِلُّونَ لَهُنَّAnd do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe
وَلا تُنكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنُواThe presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
