Question 1
Assalam aleykum,
My husband and I have marital intimacy maybe once or twice a month, and sometimes even less. This is not enough for me. I want children, and I am getting older. I think I want a divorce, but my husband does not. What do I do?
Answer 1
Question 2
Since the conception of my child, my husband refrains from any intimacy with me. It has gotten to a point that we haven’t shared any marital relations for several years. It’s frustrating and depressing for me. He says that he doesn’t have those feelings for me and can’t force himself. He is otherwise good to me. What do I do?
Answer 2
Question 3
Assalam aleykum,
For the past 20 years, I have been the one to financially support my husband and children. He tried to get a second wife, which he cannot afford. Am I wrong to get so upset, or to want him to spend time with me? All my husband wants from me is sex. Please help me.
Answer 3
Question 4
Should I be appreciative and thankful to my husband every time he helps me knowing full well that it is his duty?
It is my belief that intercourse is only there for reproduction, and it's not there to be enjoyed. Nor should it happen too often because it's a man's lust, which is forbidden in Islam. Having grown kids, does a 55-year-old man really have the right to remarry just because his physical side is not satisfied from the present wife?
Answer 4
Question 5
My wife and I have been married for a decade. Since the birth of our first child, she makes me feel unwanted. I know that she has invited a man over to her home and prevents me from coming home on weekends. Every time I try to initiate intercourse with her, she rejects me. Should I move on?
Answer 5
Question 6
If a husband living in Saudi Arabia goes to Makkah and Madinah for a few days and insists on intimacy, but the wife refuses because she feels it is a sacred place and wants to wait until they return home, is either of them in the wrong? Also, if the wife disagrees, the husband uses bad language and may threaten divorce. Additionally, at home, when the husband insists on intimacy, there is a high possibility of missing Fajr prayer, and the wife also suffers from cold allergy when taking a shower early in the morning. If she disagrees, he again uses bad language and threatens divorce. He also hides his money and financial status from her. What should the wife do now?
Answer 6
Question 7
My husband and I have been married for thirteen difficult years. He tells me he has no respect for me, does not trust me, and has no desire for me. However, he doesn't want a divorce because I am not a bad wife or mother, and we have a good life together and parent our children well. I find this hard to accept and suffer from anxiety. I often feel overwhelmed when my husband expresses these feelings. I do not feel the same way about him and feel deeply hurt. I am unsure how to accept remaining in a marriage that lacks the fundamental elements of a healthy relationship. The idea of either separating or living like this forever scares me. What should I do?

Question 8
Is it permissible to engage in various sexual practices in Islam, such as sleeping naked after intercourse, delaying Janabat Ghusl, using sprays or toys to delay ejaculation, using contraception, and discussing sexual matters during intercourse, and what are the best times for sex?
Answer 8
Question 9
Assalamu Alaikum, I have been married for six months and am facing multiple issues affecting my happiness. My husband has difficulties with intimacy, which leaves my needs unsatisfied. I also live with him in his parents' house, where I feel pressured by his mother's controlling behavior and lack of privacy. Moreover, I don’t get enough time alone with my parents as my husband and his family accompany me during visits. How can I handle these issues and improve my situation?

Question 10
Assalam alaykum,
I used to pray before I got married, and even performed tahajjud daily. However, my husband wants to make love daily, and I am unable to wash my hair every day because my hair falls out. I cannot say no to him, but I want to pray. He is a loving husband, but doesn’t pray at all. Do I have to wash my hair for ghusl?
