Yes it is permissible to pray on the Chadar of his wife like a praying mat if she allows him to do so. He is not allowed to do so if she does not allow him pray on her Chadar because she is the owner of the Chadar.

Husband . Consent . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

Is there an Islamic explanation as to why my husband believed he could engage in Mutah with other women without my consent, causing me significant distress?

Allah Who Created man and woman and e very thing, Knows their needs and requirements, hence He Sent the True Religion (Islam) with the most comprehensive rules covering every area in life. Rules of marriage of man and woman have details and contains conditions. Needs of man are not always similar to the Needs of woman and this is the reason of the difference in some rules for men and women. Mut’ah marriage has many conditions and it aims to save people from sins. Husband in any case is not allowed to hurt the feelings of his wife and he must treat her as he treats himself as a respected human being.

Is there any action I can take or any mistake I might be making if I haven't received a positive response to my prayers for a good and responsible husband, despite my efforts?

Allah The Glorious Knows the reasons behind such situations when we do not see an obvious response to our prayers. We must continue praying and never give up or lose hope. The Hadeeth states: Keep on praying and never think that the matter has been closed.

Husband . Wife . Lie . Qur'anic Verse . Surat al-Nur

What is the reason for the variation in wording between the curse of Allah upon the lying husband and the anger of Allah towards the lying wife, as mentioned in Surat al Nur?

The curse of Allah on the lying husband because he is putting a false allegation on his innocent wife but when the wife takes oath denying a crime knowing that she did commit then she will be entitled to the anger of Allah SWT. As she knows that she did commit the major sin of fornication and Allah is seeing everything yet she takes oath with the name of Allah denying what Allah has seen she will be then challenging and opposing Allah SWT and she will deserve anger of Allah.Wassalam

Husband . Hijab . Narcissism

Did my husband have a valid reason to be upset about me not wearing a Hijab when I was admitted to the ER for an emergency, considering my condition and the fact that I am a recent revert to Islam without prior knowledge of Islamic culture?

May I suggest, this is nothing to do with a revert. When anyone is having a medical emergency, the medical emergency comes first, and hijab comes second. If he is jealous of ER personnel who are treating you, he is the one having a problem.

Situations where women died due to prioritizing hijab over life - for instance, when girls fleeing a burning school in Saudi were sent back inside to get their hijabs, and burned to death - are not noble; they are sad.

It could be worthwhile considering Islam and the marriage, as separate issues. Being a Muslim is not the same thing as being married to this person. It could be worthwhile to consider how the marriage is going, and whether it is a healthy marriage and offering what you need (especially since you are not living together). Even if you are a revert, the job of a husband is not to be the religious police; it sounds like he may want a situation where he can be in control, but this may become tiring over the years. On your side, there are many resources about Islam available online these days, and it would be good to focus more on learning on your own, rather than being dependent on him to teach you, which can set up an unhealthy psychological dynamic. Conversely, it could also be worth considering whether or not you would remain a Muslim if the marriage broke up.

Hope your situation improves!

Bismihi ta'ala

Unfortunately, your husband is not being accommodating enough for your situation and circumstance. He should know better that our beautiful religion is tolerant, forbearing and forgiving. You barely being cognitive and extremely sick means your circumstances change, and nobody has right to say anything. Please refer to verse 61 of Surah al-Nur, which expicitly says this.

Marrying a revert means he must accommodate to your needs of gradual learning and understanding, and if he didnt mind you staying christian, then he has no right to object. He should be extra grateful that you have come this father, and whichever path you choose, that is for you.

My advice to you, my sister, is learn more about the religion, study and research, to understand Islam and you will definitely appreciate what it has to offer to you.

Many born Muslims really have no idea what Islam represents, and they definitely do not represent Islam.

Your husband should have more patience, and as Muslims, we are taught to be humble and apologise when we are wrong.

With prayers for your success

Divorce . Wife . Husband . Marriage

If a divorce is verbally revoked or invalidated by forgiving the wife within 3 months and 1 day prior to granting it, what is the status of the husband and wife's relationship? And what should be done if it is deemed invalid?

Bismihi ta'ala

This will depend on what type of divorce was conducted. If it is raj'i (revocable), and within her 'iddah period, then they are husband and wife again.
