Answer:

 

Married woman have boyfriend

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 no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

If the sister can bring herself to forgive her husband for his wrong-doings towards her and save her marriage and her family; that would obviously be the best and most righteous option for her in the sight of Allah Subhanah.

 

But if the sister cannot bring herself to forgive her husband and is determined in seeking divorce; then she is well within her rights to seek a divorce and start a new life with whomever she pleases.

 

But as long as she is married to her husband, she is bound by her duty to provide him with all his rights in full. If she does not give her due rights to her husband, she will indeed be guilty in the Court of Allah Subhanah on an Inevitable Day. Also it is considered an absolute and an abomination of a sin in Islam for a married woman to be in love with a non-mehram man other than her husband!

 

Our humble advice to our sister is to fear the Accounting of the impending and inevitable Day of Judgement in the Presence of the All-Mighty Lord, and immediately seek sincere repentance and forgiveness from Him for her deeds before she reaches her appointment of death; for then the doors of repentance will be closed!

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah Zumur verses 53-54: (O Prophet) say: “O My servants who have wronged their own souls….Do not despair of Allah’s Mercy! Surely, Allah forgives all sins. He indeed is the All Forgiving, All Merciful. Return to your Lord and submit to Him before the scourge overtakes you; for then you may get no help from anywhere.”

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
