Is it permissible to seek divorce from a husband who neither provides nor shows respect nor fulfills marital rights, and who is among the people of innovation (Ahl al-Bid‘ah) who revile the Companions? And is it true that we will be questioned about our Imam on the Day of Resurrection?

A wife whose husband insults the Companions should report him to the Sharia (definition) court or the competent authorities, because this act may entail apostasy and annulment of the marriage. As for the question about the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, he said in his sermon: "And you will be asked about me, so what will you say?" They said: "We bear witness that you have conveyed the message, fulfilled the trust, and advised the Ummah." He said: "O Allah, bear witness." As for the claim of an infallible Imam, it has no basis.
