Answer:
Husband relationship
with another woman
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.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 24 Surah
Noor verse 30:
30 Say to the believing
men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make
for greater purity for them: and Allah is well
acquainted with all that they do.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah
Aaraaf verse 33:
33 Say: The things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: ‘fahisha’
(shameful or indecent deeds) whether open or secret; sins and
trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to Allah for which he
hath given no authority; and saying things about Allah of which ye have no
knowledge.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anaam verse 151:
151 Say: "Come I will rehearse what Allah hath (really) prohibited
you from": join not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents:
kill not your children on a plea of want;
We provide sustenance for you and for them; come not (even) nigh to ‘fahisha’
(shameful or indecent deeds) whether open or secret; take not life
which Allah hath made sacred except by way of justice and law: thus doth He
command you that ye may learn wisdom.
It is categorically forbidden and prohibited for a
believer, who sincerely fears Allah and the Last Day, to develop or maintain a
‘casual’ relationship with a non-mehram woman.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3118 Narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab
The Prophet (saws) said, "Whenever a man
is alone with a (non-mehram) woman, the Shaytaan makes the third."
Your
Question: ….AS A WIFE WHAT SHOULD I DO?????
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3090 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, 'When someone
with whose religion and character you
are satisfied asks your daughter in marriage, accede to his request. If
you do not do so, there will be temptation on earth and extensive corruption.'
Respected sister in Islam, the time to investigate and
thoroughly satisfy oneself with the character, piety, fear of Allah and the
Last Day, and the practice of his religion is before one agrees to marry the
person, not after one has already married the person!!!
Your husband is obviously in manifest transgression of the
Laws and Boundaries of his Lord Creator if he starts to develop or maintain
casual relationships or flirts with non-mehram women……and as a wife who has herself
chosen or agreed to marry such a person, you now have basically only two lawful
options:
- Bear
his unjust transgressions with patience in the hope that one day your
husband will fear Allah and His Tribunal, and subsequently amend his
conduct….and thus save your marriage.
- If
you cannot bring yourself to bear his unjust transgressions, and your
husband gives you no reason to believe that he is repentant……you are
obviously well within your rights in Islam to seek to separate yourself
from such an impious person who neither fears Allah nor the Last Day.
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.

well wisher in Islam,
