Is it permissible to seek divorce from a husband who is constantly suspicious and accusatory, threatens divorce, cannot bear the household expenses, and refuses his wife to work despite his financial need?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible for a man to threaten his wife with divorce without cause, and it is forbidden for him to doubt her or to think ill of her, as this harms her and violates Allah's command to avoid suspicion.
If the husband is poor and unable to provide for his wife, he has no right to prevent her from working, as long as her work adheres to the guidelines. If the husband does not abide by these rulings, the wife is permitted to seek divorce from him.
