The question

What is the Sharia ruling on a husband remaining with his wife, given their strained relationship, after he suspected her due to the presence of romantic messages containing her birthdates and name, and his continuous attempts to uncover the truth, and what is the reason for the husband's feeling of inability to deal with her despite her attempts to mend their relationship?

The answer

The fundamental principle regarding a Muslim is their innocence; therefore, they should not be accused without clear evidence. Based on this, it is not permissible for you to harbor ill suspicions about this woman or to act on such suspicions through word or deed. Fear Allah and do not pay attention to the whispers of Satan. Rather, restrain yourself and resume your life with her as if nothing has happened. Be keen on teaching her matters of her religion and raising her according to the manners of Islamic law, and be a role model for her. Increase your supplications with: {Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us leaders of the righteous.}

Warnings: 1. A woman upon whom a legitimate marriage contract has been performed becomes a wife, and what is permissible for a husband from his wife becomes permissible, while observing the custom of delaying consummation. 2. Celebrating birthdays is not permissible. 3. The hijab is a religious obligation upon Muslim women.
