Summary
A wife whose health is endangered or whose life is disturbed by her husband's smoking habit may apply for fasakh. The court must assess the harm to the wife. Custody of a young child must not be given to a smoking father or mother if the habit is found to harm the child, which is also assessed in court. The same applies to other substances taken by the husband that harm the wife, such as drugs and ketum.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maka, isteri seorang perokok yang terancam kesihatannya atau terganggu kehidupannya disebabkan tabiat merokok suaminya boleh menuntut fasakh. Pihak mahkamah hendaklah membuat penilaian tentang kemudaratan ini terhadap isteri.
