A Woman's Refusal to Her Husband Due to His Bad Morals

Question
My husband has adulterous relationships with prostitutes and drinks alcohol. I feel intense anger and hatred towards him, and I do not want him to come near me. I want to separate from him soon. Does my refusal to share the bed with him put me in sin?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is not permissible for a wife to refuse intimacy with her husband, and you should strive with good people to reconcile, and God knows best.
