Dealing with a Husband Who is Never Home: Seeking Guidance in Shariah.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My husband is never home. He comes from work and is perpetually at a meeting. Married for 15 years with 3 children. He leaves at 7 and returns at 2 am. I have made sabar for years now. He is not fulfilling my needs of companionship or intimacy. What is my way forward? This is disrespectful and selfish. Please help me make a decision within Shariah.

Bismillaah

A: We advise that you refer your problem to a senior Aalim who deals with these types of marital problems. Preferably an Aalim who knows your husband and will be able to explain to him his marital obligations and responsibilities.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
