What is the ruling regarding a husband's statement: "It is impossible for God to have created this human being; surely another god did," and does this annul the marriage contract, knowing that he will repent?
The husband's actions mentioned are two serious matters: The first is his negligence in prayer, which is a great sin requiring that he be reminded of Allah and His punishment. If he repents, then that is good; otherwise, divorcing him is preferable. The second is his statement: "It is impossible that our Lord created this human; surely another god did." This phrase constitutes disbelief if its apparent meaning is intended, but if exaggeration is intended, it does not amount to disbelief. If he apostatizes and then repents during the ' (waiting period), the marriage contract remains valid. Anger removes accountability if the person does not comprehend what he is saying, and it should be avoided.
