Divorce from a Husband Whose Money is Haram

Question
Is it permissible for me to ask for a divorce from my husband because he does not care about consuming haram (forbidden) and does not care about the future of the children? He is a father to seven children under the age of maturity, earning part of his income from renting out hookahs (smoking) in a place that is a park with mixing, music, and birthday parties. When I tell him that this income is haram, he gets angry and says: 'What remains in my house if you accuse me of feeding you and your children with haram?' My family's situation is unbearable, and I have a child with diabetes and a daughter with Down syndrome. He swears that he will prevent me from seeing my children if I divorce him. What do you advise me?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: You should be patient and seek reward from Allah, continue to give advice, pray frequently, and seek help from those of virtue and goodness to get out of the problem. And Allah knows best.
