What is the ruling on a husband insulting his wife, her parents, the Lord and the Prophet with obscene words, demeaning her and impugning her honor?
The words mentioned include grave abominations, the most severe of which are insulting the Lord and the Prophet, which is clear disbelief by scholarly consensus. These words constitute apostasy from Islam. Therefore, the wife must separate from the husband until he repents with sincere repentance and returns to Islam. She can then return to him with the original marriage contract if she is within her waiting period (''); otherwise, the contract must be renewed. It is forbidden to insult the wife or accuse her of immorality without proof, just as it is forbidden to insult the dead without a legitimate reason. It is recommended to pray for this man's guidance and for noble people to advise him. If the situation warrants it, the wife should take her case to the court, especially regarding the insults against the Lord and His Messenger.
