I am a lady from Algeria and I would like to ask about a case that concerns me. I had a fight with my husband three years ago, and as a result I moved out my husband’s house to live with at my father’s place. During these last three years, my husband never asked about me or tried to do anything to solve the problem. The real cause of the fight was that before marriage he promised that we would live together in the same city where he works, but what happened is that he made me live with his parents at their place in a different city. I had to take this for 8 years, during which my mother in law mistreated me and my husband was away from home most of the time and only visited us once every 21 days. I have 3 children from this marriage, and that was the only reason that made me to return home every time I left it. However, since I could not take it anymore, I decided to solve this problem once and for all. Therefore, I decided to leave and stay at my father’s place and demanded my husband to take me and my children to live with him in the city where he works, otherwise I would not return. Sadly, they refused to let me take the kids, and now I only see them once a year. This has been the case for the last three years. Now, I am confused because neither do I live with my husband, nor am I divorced. I fear the plots of the devil because I work and leave the house. Have I angered Allah with what I did? O Shaykh, I need your advice, may Allah reward you abundantly. ترجمة جواب الفتوى: جعلني معلقة فماذا أفعل؟
