Husband Is Committing Zina; What to Do?

05 October, 2022
Q My husband is having relation with a woman, who he use to like before we got married. After 18 years of our marriage, he managed to pay some spy’s good amount of money to find her. Now she is married with three teenage children. When my husband approached her, she was more than welcome to restart their relationship. My husband initially told me they are just good friends but when I read their chat, I found out they exchanged “I love you” and talks intimately to each other. I confronted my husband and asked him to stop as this is adultery, he said according to him it’s not as we are truly in love and Allah reunited us after 22 years, so it’s Allah’s will. My husband says he is not happy of me because I answer him back, I do that because he gets very angry and be violent for petty issues. I stopped him from adultery because I don’t want him to get punished by Allah swt, but he is refusing. What shall I do?

Answer

If your husband refuses your advice to stop committing zina, in the end, the deed belongs to him. After all, we will all stand up in front of Allah and answer for our deeds alone.

If he commits adultery, it is about his understanding of wrongdoing. He has to develop love and fear of Allah in his heart, repent, and end his affair.

What about you and your feelings?

If you love him and care for him, what he is doing probably hurts you. You have to think about yourself and your well-being and not let violence happen .

You do not deserve to be hit, abused, or cheated.
