Question:
Assalamualaykum I need Sheikh’s guidance.
My wife is a non Muslim. She has 2 cats and 1 dog. Cats vomit on the carpets on the furniture, ruining the home from health and simple comfort, I cannot convince this lady it is madness! I tell her to put them outside or get rid of them. I cannot pray inside my home. This is most heavy heavy burden upon me, I do not know how to convince this lady of the seriousness regarding it. I have become angry many times, tried to explain, plead, but she feels too sorry for her animals. Please make du’a for me that I may be accepted in the divine presence, and any advice how to handle my wife so I do not transgress the limits of Allah. May Allah grant Sheik Nazim and Sheik Hisham, their families and companions long lives endless mercy and endless favors
Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana is praying for you in sha Allah. Cats are OK but not dogs. Recite Hasbiya Allah Rabbiya Allah x100 daily and try to improve communication with your wife.
