Question:
salam,
I caught my husband gambling twice before, he promised me he will never do it again, and hadn’t gambled for 3 months. Recently i noticed he went to casino on 3 occasions. I have been so upset. I confronted him and he brought the Qur’an and took oath on it that he will never gamble again. My mum is saying to trust him as he has taking oath on Qur’an, but i really trusted him. I love him and i cant even divorce him, what shall i do.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
There is no sin on you if your husband gambles. Your living with him is not haram. Keep on pressuring him to stay away from this haram habit and to repent sincerely.
