Wife Witnessing Immoral Behavior of the Husband
Question
When a husband engages in immoral behavior such as flirting with other women over the phone, how should a wife respond?
Answer
The wife should look for the perfect opportunity to prevent and stop her husband from doing wrong. If he refrains, then well and good, but if he continues with his wrong, then she will not be responsible for his evil actions. The wife should not separate from her husband but should try to make her home as far as possible. [Re:-Kitaabun Nawaazil Vol: 15 Pg:155]
ALLAH TA’ALA ALONE IN HIS INFINITE MERCY KNOWS BEST!
