Question

How to deal with a husband who regularly disobeys Allah and gets angry when wife reminds him to stop bad habits?

Answer

Don’t approach him directly. However, commence ta`leem in the home in the mornings and evenings for at least ten to fifteen minutes and then beg Allah Ta`ala’s assistance and guidance for all.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
