Praise be to Allah.in all

My dear brother, what

you have described is indeed difficult and hard, but the Muslim can

do nothing but accept the decree of Allaah and face whatever difficulties

Allaah sends by following the means prescribed in sharee’ah.

What we advise you to

do is the following:

-Consult a trustworthy Muslim psychologist.

-Seek help through ruqyahs prescribed in sharee’ah [i.e., reciting

Qur’aan and du’aa’s for the purpose of seeking healing]. You can recite

ruqyah over yourself, or ask a righteous person to do this for you.

-If things do not change, we advise you to have patience, to fear

Allaah and do your duty towards Him, and to persist in making du’aa’;

Allaah will make a way out for you.

-If this goes on for a long time and causes difficulties for your

wife, there may be no option other than separation (divorce), and Allaah

will provide abundance for everyone of them from His bounty (cf. Al-Nisaa’

4:130)

-You have to have faith in Allaah and be optimistic. As time goes

by, things may change.

We

ask Allaah to relieve your distress and to help you soon. And Allaah

is the source of strength.
