Is it permissible to seek divorce from a husband addicted to drinking alcohol, especially when one feels distress, tension, and anxiety, particularly with the knowledge that the husband is unable to abandon this habit, and experiences a lack of trust and instability in the marital relationship?

If what the husband drinks habitually intoxicates, then it is wine and a commission of a major sin among the greatest of sins. It is advised to be patient with him, to frequently supplicate for his guidance, to advise him gently and kindly, and to involve someone whose word he respects to influence him. If he does not respond and continues to drink wine, then it is better to separate from him, and it is preferable for her to seek Khul' (divorce initiated by the wife) from him due to his neglect of Allah's rights.
