Is a woman to confront her husband if she learns that he practices homosexuality?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a woman knows that her husband is practicing homosexuality or other abominations, she must confront him and forbid him from this abomination, clarifying its prohibition and vileness. She must also strive to help him repent. If he repents, she must live with him in kindness. Otherwise, it is better for her to separate from him, either through divorce or khul' (a woman-initiated divorce).
