Ruling on Requesting Divorce Due to Unsuitable Living Conditions
A woman suffers from asthma and lives in a house that is completely moldy and damp, and her husband refuses to move to another house despite being able to do so, to the point that she can no longer tolerate him. Is it permissible for her to request a divorce?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: She should try in every way to convince him, with the assistance of good people among his and her relatives, and she should not resort to divorce; because it has very bad effects on her, and God knows best.
