What is the ruling concerning a wife who lives with a husband who does not pray, drinks alcohol, and commits adultery? And is she considered an accomplice in his actions?
Abandoning prayer, drinking alcohol, and committing adultery are major sins, and the greatest of these is abandoning prayer, which some scholars consider to be an act of disbelief. The father is advised to continue advising him and praying for him, and to offer indirect admonitions, or through an influential person. If he does not repent, the mother should not remain married to a wicked man like him, especially with the presence of a relationship with the neighbor's daughter, which indicates that her father is a cuckold who lacks protective jealousy. The father, the girl's father, and the girl herself should be advised, and the girl can be threatened with deterrent measures. The general principle is to conceal the father's sins unless there is an overriding benefit. The questioner, if unmarried, is advised to seek a righteous husband to distance herself from this environment.
