The answer

Neither spouse is permitted to accuse the other without evidence. It is preferable to conceal and offer sincere advice if such an accusation arises. Both spouses must fear Allah and preserve each other's rights and responsibilities. Everyone involved in the matter must strive for reconciliation and prevent tongues from delving into people's honor. The questioner should ask her neighbor to cease discussing this matter and advise the wife to conceal her husband's faults and offer him sincere advice if she perceives an error from him.
