Is the husband sinful for divorcing his wife who refuses to wear the hijab and cheats on him, given that they have a daughter, and is it better for him to stay with her?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The husband must oblige his wife to be modest and chaste and prevent her from committing reprehensible acts if she is suspiciously conversing with a non-mahram man, not wearing the legal hijab, and sending her picture to him, by virtue of his guardianship.

If she repents and becomes upright, it is better to keep her; otherwise, he should not keep her, and divorce may be obligatory in such cases.
