Is it permissible to separate from a husband who does not pray regularly, and who refuses to allow his wife to financially support her family, while demanding that she contribute to household expenses, given her concern about not being able to balance work and home?

The question involves two matters:

First: The husband's negligence in prayer: He must be advised and reminded of Allah and the Day of Judgment. If he does not respond and repent, there is no good in remaining with him, and divorce should be sought.

Second: The wife's work and salary: Your salary is your right, and you may dispose of it as you wish. It is not permissible for the husband to take anything from it except with your consent. The husband is responsible for the maintenance and needs of the household. The husband has the right to prevent his wife from working unless she stipulated it to him at the time of the marriage contract. He may also agree with her on a portion of the salary in exchange for allowing her to work. It is advised to seek Allah's guidance (istikharah) and consult trustworthy people in dealing with this husband.
