If the husband is righteous and there have been children born from him previously, it is more fitting for the wife to be patient and seek treatment for his illness with him, while increasing supplication and earnest prayer to Allah for healing, for every disease has a cure. Both spouses should fear Allah and frequently supplicate during times when answers are likely.
