The answer

A Muslim is not permitted to reside in lands where reprehensible acts are widespread, especially if he fears falling into them and gazing at the charms of women. If there is an urgent necessity for residence, coupled with the ability to lower one's gaze and preserve one's religion, then there is no harm in staying until the necessity ceases. Otherwise, it is advised to tell the wife to return and to seek help from someone who can influence her, along with frequent supplication for her. If she does not respond and the man fears for his religion, then he must separate from her and depart with his religion.
