How can a woman coexist with a treacherous husband who disregards the rights of Allah and the family, especially since she has no source of income and has four daughters? Are there any solutions or advice for this difficult life?

The answer

If the husband has completely abandoned prayer, it is not permissible to remain married to him, because he is, according to the preponderant opinion, a disbeliever. However, if he prays sometimes and abandons it sometimes, he is not a disbeliever, but he is in grave danger. And if he maintains his prayers but is a transgressor, it is advised to strive to counsel him and seek the help of people of knowledge and righteousness, and to endeavor to divert him from corruption by beautifying oneself and maintaining good companionship, while being cautious of the impact of his actions on the daughters' morals.
