The question

What is the ruling of the Sharia regarding a man who disbelieves in God, considers the Hajj to be a waste, and the Kaaba a pile of stones, and believes that Arabs do not deserve to live, and his disbelief increases when he is rebuked, yet he prays and fasts? Should his wife be divorced from him, and how should his children deal with him?

The answer

Reviling Almighty Allah is considered apostasy from Islam, entailing the nullification of all good deeds and the dissolution of the marriage contract. Consequently, his Muslim wife becomes unlawful to him until he repents. Performing prayers and fasting after this act of apostasy does not intercede for him. His claim that his children's anger was the reason for his blasphemy is not an excuse; rather, it indicates his disdain for Allah. He must be ostracized until he repents and returns to Islam, and it is not permissible for his wife to enable him. The children should treat him as an apostate, but with gentleness in their call to him.
