A woman sometimes calls and says, "Doctor, I want to complain to you about my husband." When I ask her about his problem, she begins listing a series of complaints: "His gaze is wandering, he doesn’t spend well on me, he gets angry with me, he hits me..." and a long list of grievances.
Since I know that the transgression against Allah the Almighty has unfortunately spread widely in society, I interrupt her with a question: "I want to ask you something; when he gets angry, does he curse the Lord?" She replies, "Ah, and this too, and this as well."
What is astonishing is that this grave crime (cursing the Lord) came up "along the way," as they say—mentioned only as an afterthought when I reminded her of it! What mattered most to her was her personal rights: that his gaze was wandering, that his morals were corrupt, or that he didn’t spend on her. As for the rights of Allah the Almighty, that was a secondary matter she only mentioned later.
The issue here is not merely corrupt morals or neglect in spending, but I tell her: "Let’s set aside his wandering gaze and his failure to spend; indeed, whoever curses the Lord is not lawful for you, nor are you lawful for him, and it is not permissible for you to remain with him under the same roof."
It is truly distressing to see even a wife who does not commit this crime herself underestimating this grave matter when it comes from her husband, treating it as a minor detail within her list of marital problems.
