How can a woman deal with her husband who does not lower his gaze, seeks to establish relationships with other women, and justifies that by his desire to marry a wealthy woman to achieve her happiness and the happiness of her children?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Jealousy is inherent in women, even if they reach the highest levels of piety. However, if jealousy exceeds reasonable bounds to suspicion in every small and large matter, it leads to hell in married life. If the husband looks at what Allah has forbidden, this is a great danger due to his disobedience of Allah's command to lower the gaze. Forbidden looking affects the heart and can lead to corruption. The husband must fear Allah in his gaze and his tongue, and this is not the correct way to seek a wife. The wife must be patient and advise her husband with wisdom and good counsel.
