Is the wife considered unjust to her husband if she sides with her father against him because he hit and insulted her for neglecting the house, while he himself does not maintain his prayers on time?

Prayer is of great importance in Islam; it is the second pillar after the Two Testimonies. One who abandons it out of laziness is not considered a disbeliever according to the majority of scholars.

Based on this, it is not permissible to refuse intimacy with the husband, nor to neglect his rights or the rights of the children.

Efforts should be made to advise him. If he persists in his state, the wife may seek a divorce.

It is not permissible for a Muslim to side with the oppressor against the oppressed. She must affirm what is right and condemn what is wrong.

If the husband's neglect is in the form of abandonment and it has not yielded results, she should try another method, and abandonment should be according to what serves the best interest.
