Does she divorce him, What`s she supposed to do Islamically?
Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
(May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
As slamu alaikom wr
wb.
What`s the Islamic advice for a revert woman who married a Muslim Arab man whom
she thought would be her husband,lead her in Salat, teach her principles of
Islam,etc,......... and who was supposed to be single and with no kids.
After marriage she discovered that he doesn`t pray , he is already married with
kids , and the whole matter from the beginning was a lie. He only marrried her
for papers. He also left her and works in remote part of the country away from
her, he never ,and still, supported her nor their kid but she used to do so.
Does she divorce him, What`s she supposed to do Islamically? Would she divorce
him or live with a liar? She doesn`t trust him anymore , she doesn`t trust him
as a father because he isn`t a good example as a Muslim for his baby.

Answer:
Lies dishonesty
muflis
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.116 Narrated by Abdullah
The Prophet (saws) said, "Truthfulness
leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to
Dear and beloved Sister in Islam, if one has unfortunately
chosen to marry a lying and dishonest person, and one finds that the person
neither fears Allah, nor the Last Day, nor is sincerely repentant at his lies
and his dishonesty and his evil-doing, nor fulfills his duties and
responsibilities laid upon him by the Lord Most High…..the wife is well within
her rights in Islam, and it would only be prudent and best if she sought to
separate from such an evil, impious and dishonest person through the institution
of divorce, and there would be absolutely no blame or sin upon her.
Dear and beloved Sister in Islam, it is possible that one
might get away with their lies, dishonesty, and evil in the life of this world,
but Allah is our witness sister, rest absolutely assured that no evil or
injustice or oppression one does in the life of this world will go unaccounted
for or without retribution in the Presence of the Lord Most Majestic on that
Inevitable Day of Judgment in the Hereafter!
Every single lie, every single act of dishonesty, every single act of
tyranny and oppression, every single right which has been unjustly
usurped,……Allah is our witness sister, the victim will receive their due and
full retribution from their oppressor in the Presence of their Majestic and
Supreme Lord, where none will be wronged in the very least!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah
Anbiyaa verse 47:
47 We shall set up Scales of Justice for the Day of Judgment so that
not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least! And if there be (no more than) the weight of
a mustard seed (good or evil), We will bring it (to account): and enough are We
to take account!
Sahih Muslim
Hadith 6251 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
Allah's
Messenger (saws) said: ‘Do you know who is a ‘muflis’ (abjectly poor or one who
is totally bankrupt)?’ They (the Companions (r.a.) of the Prophet (saws)) said:
‘A ‘muflis’ amongst us is one who has neither dirham with him nor wealth.’ He
(the Prophet (saws)) said: ‘The ‘muflis’ of my Ummah would be he who would come
on the Day of Resurrection with prayers and fasts and Zakah but (he would find
himself bankrupt on that day as he would have exhausted his funds of virtues)
since he hurled abuses upon others, brought calumny against others, unlawfully
consumed the wealth of others, shed the blood of others, and beat others. His
virtues would be credited to the account of one (who suffered at his hand). And
if his good deeds fall short to clear the account (of his mis-deeds), then
their sins would be entered in (his account) and he would be thrown in the Hell-Fire!’
Sahih Bukhari
Volume 008 Book 076, Number 541 Narrated by Abu Huraira
The Messenger of
Allah (saws) said: "Whoever has wronged his brother, should ask for his pardon
(before his death), as (in the Hereafter) there will be neither a Dinar nor a
Dirham. (He should secure pardon in this life) before some of his good deeds
are taken and paid to his brother, or, if he has done no good deeds, some of
the bad deeds of his brother are taken to be loaded on him (in the
Hereafter)."
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
