Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah
My husband came to the USA just over a year ago on a green card sponsored by me. He moved out to live in a separate apartment just after 3 months. Now, for the last 9 months he does not talk to me and does not pick up my calls. I went to his apartment with my 6 year old daughter but he did not open the door. I have complained to my father and mother in law regarding this issue but they did not help me. They take his side and tell me that all your problems are because you do not respect him. The only message they send me is to be patient. What does the Islamic Shari‘ah say about this situation? I do not have a job and with a 6 year old daughter I am staying with my parents. I am depressed and sometime go through psychological problems. I can complain to USA immigration but I do not want to do that that with the hope that everything may become OK one day in near future. Please provide your advice on what I should do?
Last time I spoke with him and he told me that I will not divorce you and also will not accept you. We will raise our daughter living separately. I want to seek Shariah advise as my parents are asking me to seek legal advice from attorneys about my rights and his religious responsibility. He has put my phone on block and threatened me that he will call police if I try to talk to him again. I am very desperate and lonely, please help.

If you reside in or close to Chicago, we recommend that you contact the ulamah kiram of Al-Majlis Al-Shar‘ai or any other darul-qadha of ahl-e-haq ulamah kiram to request a resolution of this issue. In addition, before you go to bed every night when you are done with your daily routine, read Surah Ikhlas 41 times with 11 times Durood Shareef at the beginning and at the end to get the desired resolution of this issue. Make dua to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta‘ala and then while thinking about your husband go to sleep.
