How should a wife act regarding her husband's attempts to commit sodomy with her, and his fondling of her anus under the pretext of foreplay, while she feels repulsion and fear of him luring her into it, and doubts begin to creep into her heart about the existence of an external influence driving her husband to this behavior, especially since the husband prays intermittently and distances himself from his Lord?
What the husband mentioned is asking for is forbidden, and its perpetrator is cursed. His actions of foreplay are also forbidden, and the wife must not enable him to do so. It is not permissible to spy on him. It is better to advise him and remind him of the impermissibility of his act, and to present the fatwa referred to. Abandoning prayer is a greater sin than what was mentioned, so he must be advised to maintain it.
