The Ruling on a Woman Remaining with a Husband Who Does Not Pray
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! Many women complain that they have been afflicted with husbands who do not pray, and they did not discover this until after the marriage?
Answer: This is a great affliction. If she knows this, she must refrain from him and go to her family, and she must not allow him access to her, neither for intercourse nor anything else, until he repents to Allah and becomes upright in prayer. Otherwise, the obligatory course is separation. Yes.
The presenter: She may make excuses on the grounds of the children, and what do you know about the children?
The Shaykh: There is no excuse in this. Provision is from Allah. She is more entitled to her children until Allah guides them.
The presenter: In this situation.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: We seek help from Allah, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah.
