The question

What is the religious ruling concerning a husband who curses and insults the Governorate of Cairo, its people, and its shaykhs, claiming that they worship money? Does the wife have the right to try and change his mind, despite his refusal, especially given her fear for her children from these ideas, and considering that he is otherwise a kind husband, and that the matter previously escalated to physical assault between them because of this issue?

The answer

A believer safeguards his tongue from insults, curses, and profanity. If the husband is in such a state, the wife must be patient and remind him of Allah and the danger of unrestrained speech, especially insulting scholars, and clarify the negative impact of such behavior on their children. She is advised to supplicate for him frequently and seek the help of righteous people whom the husband trusts to guide him. If he persists, she must remain patient and continue advising him with wisdom, and warn their children against the error of these actions.
