Drunkard husband

Q 1: What is the Shari`ah ruling concerning a religious woman who follows the teachings of Islam but her husband is a sinner and drinks alcohol? Can she be divorced from him?


A: If he drinks continuously, she is permitted to ask for divorce, in order for her and her children not to be harmed. (Part No. 19; Page No. 399) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
