Should the questioner be divorced from her husband, who drinks alcohol and leaves the house, is constantly in problems with her and her mother, has not changed despite her attempts, and whose mother interferes in every detail of their financial and personal lives?

Divorce should not be the first solution to your marital problems, especially with two children. We advise you to try to reform your husband and strive to change his social behavior. Supplicate to Allah, praying for his righteousness and guidance. Utilize his calm moments to remind him of Allah and the consequences of sin, especially drinking alcohol. Do not despair of reminding him of his responsibility towards his daughters and their future, while trying to keep the daughters away from the atmosphere of problems. Seek help from wise relatives to advise him, and try to mend your relationship with his family to enlist their support.
