Is it permissible to divorce a wife who is disobedient and ill-mannered, who curses the Divine Being and threatens her husband with removing her hijab, knowing that there is a two-year-old child who will be in her custody?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is advisable to divorce this woman and take the child, as she does not deserve custody due to her immorality and disbelief, if her cursing of Allah Almighty is proven. The husband's leniency enabled her to control the home, while Allah gave him the right to discipline her through admonition, then abandonment, then non-brutal beating. This woman has combined evil by daring to defy Allah, transgressing His limits, and neglecting prayer. Her cure is divorce, unless she repents sincerely and her condition improves.
