What should a wife do if her husband does not pray, drinks alcohol, and mocks her for her religiosity and her love for God, the Quran, dhikr, and prostration?
Your husband, who abandons prayer and drinks alcohol, is in great danger. Abandoning prayer out of defiance is considered disbelief by scholarly consensus, and abandoning it due to laziness has been deemed disbelief by some scholars. Drinking alcohol is one of the gravest major sins. If it is confirmed that he mocks your religiosity, this is also an act of disbelief. In this case, it is impermissible for his wife to remain with him, and she must separate from him immediately. We advise you to present this matter to scholars at Islamic centers.
