Answer

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

Sister in Islaam,

We sympathize with you and make du’aa that Allaah Ta’aala grants your husband hidaayah. Aameen.

If you have exhausted all possible avenues to change your husband and you have been unsuccessful in that, then you should consult the seniors of your family and also make istikhaarah. If you are advised to separate, then place your trust in Allaah Ta’aala and separate from him. Give him a few months to change. If he still does not come to his senses, request him to issue you a divorce. If he does not cooperate, then you may request your local ‘Ulamaa board to annul (faskh) the marriage.

And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best.
