Should a marriage continue with someone who frequently curses and insults, and lies about quitting smoking and prayer, even though he is kindhearted, generous, respectful, and well-mannered when not angry, and desires righteousness and commitment? What should I do when I feel suffocated every time he smokes, curses, or makes a mistake? Should I endure with him, hoping I might be a cause for his rectification, or should I leave him before it's too late?

The husband's actions of abandoning congregational prayers, smoking, and using abusive language are religious transgressions, some of which are major sins. It is not advisable to rush into seeking a divorce because of this; instead, patience is required, and effort should be made to advise him and remind him of Allah, especially given his good character, as there is hope for his guidance through his wife. If the husband persists in his state of smoking and abusive language, then the wife is not at fault for seeking a divorce, because the husband's transgression or harm permits her to do so. However, the wife's assumption that he might curse the religion is not permissible and is among the bad assumptions forbidden by Islamic law, for cursing the religion is explicit disbelief that expels one from the faith. If he does, God forbid, curse the religion, then he has committed an act of disbelief and apostatized from the religion.
