Question

Is it permissible for a wife deny sexual relationship with her husband based on the fact that he is a homosexual. He does not stop the act despite several reminders, threats, warnings, counselling by the wife...

Answer

She should break away from him and move away. It is not at all right for her to live with such a person.

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

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
