Is it permissible for a husband to separate from his wife who refuses intimacy for six months, treats him poorly, and feels that she no longer loves him as before, despite his attempts to improve and understand their relationship?

The questioner is advised to be patient with his wife and to communicate with her wisely, explaining the immense rights of the husband. The foundation of the marital relationship is affection and overlooking mistakes, focusing on the good aspects. The marital relationship is a solemn covenant that should not be shattered by illusion or emotion, as Allah Almighty says: "And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good." The sayings of Sayyid Qutb and Omar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, are also mentioned, along with the emphasis on cooperating in obedience. If the shortcomings persist, the corrective measures mentioned in fatwas 96919 and 153861 should be pursued.
