Fatwaa.net - Fatawa | I have been married for 5 years, and my problem is my husband's irregularity in prayer. Sometimes he misses obligatory prayers, and when I talk to him, I get angry, and he goes back to praying, but it is not a priority for him. When I talk to him, he regrets and feels upset with himself for not being consistent, and he accepts advice, but my only problem with him is prayer. What is my role, and what should his decision be?

Advice for the Husband Who Neglects Prayer

Question

I have been married for 5 years, and my problem is my husband's irregularity in prayer. Sometimes he misses obligatory prayers, and when I talk to him, I get angry, and he goes back to praying, but it is not a priority for him. When I talk to him, he regrets and feels upset with himself for not being consistent, and he accepts advice, but my only problem with him is prayer. What is my role, and what should his decision be?

Answer

I say, and with God's success: His sin in neglecting prayer is upon himself, and you should continue to follow up with him, advise him, and remind him of that while you are present. You should also pray for his guidance and take all the means of good companionship with people who will remind him of God Almighty. And God knows best.
