Is it permissible to divorce a wife who claims to see spiritual beings that tell her unseen matters, which causes recurring problems in the marital life?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

What you mentioned about your wife seeing hidden things, and the shaykhs telling her unseen matters, is either charlatanism and sorcery, or a psychological illness causing delusions. Explain to her the falsehood of these matters, and that she must repent and return to her senses. If she repents, then keep her; otherwise, divorce her. If she is ill, then take her to a psychiatrist. If she recovers, then there is no blame upon you whether you divorce her or keep her.
