No physical relations between us about 4 months. Kindly guide me to get to the right conclusion and guide me the current status of our NIKKAH as in Islam
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
Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
My
question is:
I and
my wife are living in same roof alongwith 4 children but almost about four
months we are not even like to see each others face. My wife and I always used
our children to say each other. No physical relations between us about 4
months. Kindly guide me to get to the right conclusion and guide me the current
status of our NIKKAH as in Islam

Answer:
Validity of nikaah
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.
Dear and beloved brother in Islam, just because for some
reason one has not been able to conjugate with one’s wife for any period….be it
4 months, 4 years, or 40 years…..rest absolutely assured that this by itself
does not automatically effect the validity of one’s Nikaah in any way
whatsoever!
The sacred institution of ‘nikaah’ in Islam is only broken
by a divorce.
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.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
