What is the ruling on a wife remaining with a husband who mismanages people's money, steals, claims repentance, then reverts to his actions, and what is the duty of the relatives and the wife towards him?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Theft, embezzlement, and wrongfully devouring people's wealth are forbidden acts and grave sins. Repentance for them is not complete except by returning the money to its rightful owners. It is obligatory to advise the thief and to warn people about him, doing so by way of sincere counsel and not by way of reproach. The wife must be wary of consuming ill-gotten wealth that her husband brings.
