What are the consequences and burdens of sin for a husband and wife if the husband neglects his religious duties towards his wife, leading her to apostatize and abandon the rituals of the faith?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A man is responsible for raising his family in accordance with Islam, and falling short in this is a great danger, as stated in the Hadith: "There is no servant whom Allah has made a guardian over a flock, and he dies on the day he dies while he was treacherous to his flock, except that Allah will forbid Paradise for him." The wife is also obligated and responsible for her actions, and every person will be held accountable individually. It is incumbent upon the wife to fear Allah, fulfill her obligations, and abstain from forbidden acts. The questioner must offer sincere repentance and strive to educate his wife with wisdom, gentleness, and gradualism.
