Does a woman separate from a husband who does not pray?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In a long question about her husband, she also mentions that he still does not pray, and she asks at the end: Is it obligatory for a Muslim woman to separate from a man who does not pray?
Answer:
Yes, she must separate; because abandoning the prayer is apostasy, major shirk (associating partners with Allah) in the most correct of the scholars' opinions. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 1079Sahih (Darussalam) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2616Hasan (Darussalam) regarding whoever neglects the prayer and what remains with him. We ask Allah for safety. Whoever neglects it is lost, and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to write to his governors saying: "The most important of your matters to me is the prayer. Whoever preserves it preserves his religion, and whoever neglects it is more neglectful of what is besides it."
And he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "There is no share in Islam for one who abandons the prayer." This meaning was also reported as marfu' (traced to the Prophet) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Muwatta Malik 2:52.
So the conclusion is: whoever neglects the prayer has no religion. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

Between a man and disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah) is the abandonment of prayer.
بين الرجل وبين الكفر والشرك ترك الصلاةThe covenant that distinguishes between us and them is prayer; so whoever leaves it, he has committed Kufr.
العهد الذي بيننا وبينهم الصلاة، فمن تركها فقد كفرThe head of the matter is Islam, and its pillar is the Salat
رأس الأمر الإسلام، وعموده الصلاةAnd he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "There is no share in Islam for one who abandons the prayer." This meaning was also reported as marfu' (traced to the Prophet) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever stops doing the prayer will get nothing from Islam
لا حظ في الإسلام لمن ترك الصلاةSo the conclusion is: whoever neglects the prayer has no religion. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
