Question:
Assalamu’alaikum, ya sheikhs!
I have been married for 21 years. My husband is fond at looking at other women but since the last few years it has been getting worse. I always tell him to stop it but he does not admit it and calls me crazy. He even does not care that I am standing next to him. Going out with him is difficult; many women here wear revealing clothes. I am Hijabi, slim and beautiful, and both of us do our daily prayers and tasbih diligently. My husband is also able to give religious advice to others as he is knowledgeable. Every time I accuse him of staring at another woman, we get angry at each other and don’t talk to each other for 1-2 days. Am I in the wrong? What can I do about this? Should I ignore his behavior which I find insulting to me? JazakAllahkhair!
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Rather than getting angry at his lack of self-control try to find halal ways of sating his appetites.
