Is it permissible for a woman to sleep in a separate room from her husband who has insulted her and cursed her religion, knowing that he does not have intercourse with her due to a sexually transmitted disease?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a husband insults his wife, curses her, and curses her family, he is unjust to her, and she is permitted to seek divorce due to harm. If he curses her Islamic religion, he is an apostate, and it is impermissible for her to remain with him unless he repents before her waiting period () ends. If he repents and treats her kindly, she is not permitted to abandon his bed or refuse to obey him in intimacy without a valid excuse.
