My husband has expressed that he believes Islam is fake and he no longer wants a marriage based on Islam. He later recants some of it, but he no longer prays. We are now discussing divorce. What advice can you offer to someone in my circumstance?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is possible that he said what he said because of some misunderstanding and he did not really mean to leave Islam. In such case, he is still a Muslim. If you are sure that he has deliberately left believing in Islam and became a non Muslim, your marriage bond with him finishes as there is no marriage between Muslim woman and non Muslim man. When there is no marriage bond, there is no question nor need for divorce as marriage has already become nil and void. If a husband becomes a non Muslim, his Muslim wife must observe Iddah of Wafat which is four months and ten days. That is after being definitely sure that he has become a non Muslim.

Leaving praying Salah does not make a person non Muslim because it can happen out if carelessness, unless he denies Salah.

Is it permissible for a husband and wife to use sex toys to enhance satisfaction during their intimate relationship?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Husband and wife are allowed to enjoy themselves between themselves using any part of their own body. Using sex toys is not permissible between husband and wife because it involves something else not from their own body.

I have a question regarding ear piercing for my husband. I have asked him to consider it, as it doesn't relate to imitating non-Muslims or women. Are there any Hadith specifically warning men against wearing earrings?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

This topic has been addressed here a few times. What we can clearly say is that it is definitely culturally unacceptable for Muslim men to do this, and this would be enough for a male to refrain from having earrings.

And Allah knows best
I reside in the UK with my husband and our 10-month-old daughter. I am considering returning to work but struggling to choose between childcare or working, especially without family support. What would be the best option for me?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Child care is more important and it is the best you can do for your child and family and you future in this life and hereafter. Whatever money you might get from working will never compensate the loss of your child when you spend long hours away from him. Child care and looking after your children in fact is the best investment.
