Fatwa: Sheikh Muhammad bin Saleh Al-Uthaymeen حفظ اللہ
The Quran states:
“So if you know that they are believers, do not return them to the disbelievers. They are not lawful for them, nor are they lawful for them.”
[60:10 Al-Mumtahana]
Therefore, your marriage has ended; there is no valid marriage between you until Allah guides him and he repents and returns to Islam. Only then can the marital relationship be maintained.
Regarding your husband's behavior, his suspicion is unwarranted. In my opinion, he is suffering from a condition of doubt and misgivings that some people experience concerning acts of worship and interactions with others. This condition can only be alleviated by engaging in the remembrance of Allah, turning to Him, and placing trust in Him.
In summary, you should separate yourself from such a husband. He is a disbeliever, and you are a believer. It is our advice to your husband to return to the faith and seek refuge in Allah from the accursed devil. He should engage in supplications that dispel doubts and misgivings from his heart. We pray to Allah for his guidance. And Allah knows best.

My husband shows a lack of concern for religion; he does not pray and does not fast during Ramadan. In fact, he discourages me from doing good deeds and has started to become suspicious of me. He has stopped working and stays home to monitor me. What should I do in this situation?Answer:
You should not remain with such a husband, as he has become a disbeliever by abandoning prayer, and it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to live with a disbeliever.The Quran states:
“So if you know that they are believers, do not return them to the disbelievers. They are not lawful for them, nor are they lawful for them.”
