Question:
Assalam o elikum Shaykh Gibril Haddad,
I asked this question: …prayer_request/help-in-saving-my-marriage-please/ I followed advice (not too regularly initially) and other duas and prayers but so far the situation has not improved.
My name is [private] and her name is [private]; she has started the divorce proceedings in a civil court of a non-Muslim country. She did email me a week or so ago but just to request that I shall respond to the court letter. She does not otherwise want to talk with me or meet with me. She has been suffering from depression which we came to know about couple of years ago.
I have come to know through a mutual friend/elder that she feels very angry towards me and thinks that for me money has been more important than relations.
Please pray for me and guide; shall I follow the following two:
Salam
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
The door is all but closed and the best parting gesture would be to give her what she requests without a fight, and add your prayers for her and a gift of money if you can afford it.
