Is the wife entitled to seek divorce from her husband who consumes alcohol and drugs—despite his acknowledgment of his good character and his love for her and their son—or should she continue her attempts to reform him?

We advise you to strive for the reformation of your husband and to help him repent and become righteous. If he does not repent from drinking alcohol, then you should separate from him through divorce or khul‘, because alcohol is the mother of all evils, and drinking it is one of the greatest sins. Separating from a dissolute husband is commendable. You must preserve your religion and your honor, for the husband's corruption is not a justification for falling into forbidden acts.
