Wa `alaykum as-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

 

I agree with your concern over your husband’s estranged relationship with his blood relations. It is indeed a most grievous sin. Allah warns us against severing the ties of kinship. And the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “One who severs the ties of kinship cannot get to the paradise.”

 

Therefore, you have every reason to be upset with this attitude of your husband. If you did your best to advise him to repent and change and there is no hope, can you also speak to the local imam or wise leaders in the community to talk to him? We should exhaust all means available.

 

If nothing works, you should ask: Is it all his fault? Did they also contribute to it?

 

If you are convinced that he is directly responsible for it, then you are justified in seeking a divorce from a man who has no respect for the womb that bore him and the relations established through it.

 

I would urge you to pray to Allah to change his heart.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
