Is the wife considered sinful for abandoning her husband within the same house, knowing that he is very irritable and does not accept dialogue, and that she can no longer tolerate this life?

We advise you to pray for your husband, to counsel him kindly, and to remind him of what has been narrated in the Sunnah about anger, and that it is an entrance for Satan. Also, remind him of the importance of consultation in marital life. Your patience with your husband and your effort to live with him are good, and we advise you to be patient to preserve your children, and to seek help through istighfar (seeking forgiveness) and dhikr (remembrance of God). It is not permissible for you to abandon him as long as he is fulfilling your rights, unless he wrongs you in any of them, in which case it is permissible for you to abandon him. However, it is generally better not to abandon him to avoid the escalation of problems and the dispersal of the family.
