Sleeping Separately From Husband Due To Involvement In Sin

· 17 Muharram 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it permissible for a wife to sleep separately from her husband due to the husband being involved in sin?

Answer

It will not be correct for a wife to sleep separately from her husband because he is involved in sin; rather she should try to correct him in a kind manner. Furthermore, she should not perpetrate any action that will cause disruption in the marriage, otherwise she herself will fall into sin. [Re: Kitaabun Nawaazil Vol:15 Pg:163]
