What is the ruling of the Sharia regarding a wife remaining with a husband who does not pray and drinks alcohol?

Allah grants His servants respite. Some are gradually led astray in their disobedience, while others repent. Therefore, one must hasten to repent from major sins such as abandoning prayer and consuming alcohol. Abandoning prayer severs the connection between the servant and his Lord, and some scholars consider it to lead to disbelief. Consuming alcohol is the mother of all evils, leading to vices, and its drinker is cursed.

Do not neglect the right of Allah as you do not neglect showing kindness to your parents, for that is a form of gratitude for Allah's blessings. One must be wary of persisting in sins, for Allah may seize the disobedient suddenly. The one being advised should not become angry when advised or guided to the truth; rather, he should be grateful, for there is nothing greater than sincere advice. And beware of the characteristics of hypocrites who are too arrogant to accept advice.

The advisor should exercise wisdom in his advice, choosing the appropriate time and gentle, kind approach, and should not advise in public.

If a man acknowledges himself to be Christian, he has acknowledged himself to be a disbeliever. This necessitates his expulsion from the fold of Islam, and if he apostatizes, his wife becomes unlawful to him until he repents.

Bad company is a key to many evils, for it is because of it that some have disbelieved and some have gone astray. So let him who desires salvation for himself fear Allah, and let him not associate except with a pious believer, who will remind him if he forgets and help him if he remembers.

It is recommended to pray for this man and for every disobedient person that Allah guides him and returns him to the right path, and grants him success in sincere repentance.
