Will Allah accept the prayer and good deeds of a person who is continually committing sin such as fornification eventhough in his/her heart the person is aware that he/she is sinning and is full of guilt and tries his/her very best not to continue committing such sin. Except for this weakness this person tries to be a good muslim e.g. never misses daily prayers, giving out time and money towards the cause of Allah, never take alcohol or other un-halal foods etc.
Praise be to Allaah.
Yes, Allaah will accept whatever righteous deeds he does, such as praying, fasting, giving charity etc., and He will also accept his repentance, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):“And He it is Who accepts repentance from His slaves, and forgives sins, and He knows what you do.” [al-Shooraa 42:25]. But there is the condition that his repentance must be sincere. Does this person truly regret what he has done? Is he indeed determined not to repeat the sin? Has he, I wonder, gotten rid of everything that may lead him to sin, such as relationships, addresses, telephone numbers, going to evil places, bad friends, movies, pictures and so on? What we believe is that if this person truly repents, he will give up this sin.
Zina is one of the worst kinds of immoral deeds. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):“And come not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a faahishah [i.e., anything that transgresses its limits, a great sin], and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allaah forgives him).” [al-Isra’ 17:32].
Married people who commit zina (adultery) are to be punished with the worst and most severe form of punishment, which is to be stoned to death, so that every part of their bodies may feel pain just as they felt pleasure in a haraam manner even though they were not without a halaal source of pleasure (i.e., within marriage). Unmarried people who commit zinaa, and had never been married before, are to be given the maximum number of lashes prescribed in sharee’ah, which is one hundred lashes. In addition, they are subjected to the humiliation of having their punishment witnessed by a group of believers, and are to be banished for one full year from their city, the place where they committed the crime.
The punishment for those who are guilty of zinaa in Barzakh (i.e., after death and before the Day of Resurrection) is that they will be in an oven, the top of which is narrow and the bottom of which is wide. A fire will be lit under it, and they will be naked in (that oven). When the fire is lit, they will scream and rise up until they almost come out of the oven, then when the fire subsides, they will go back down into it. This is what will keep happening to them until the Hour begins. So how will their punishment be in the Fire of Hell itself?
We ask Allaah not to despise us and to accept our repentance; we ask Him to help us to do good and to avoid evil, for He is the All-Hearing, Ever-Near.

“In 21st century Islam, a woman cannot have any place in politics. In the Islam of Muhammad (saww), a woman was an ambassador in politics. When he takes her to the event of Mubahila, why doesn’t he say, ‘A woman cannot be involved in politics because she’s not mahram to the men. A woman cannot be in politics because politics are only for men. A woman cannot be in politics because she has to have hijab.’ So why take Fatima (sa) to meet Christians? If a woman is meant to be at home, keep Fatima (sa) at home. A woman has as much role in building your community as a man. And unless a woman is involved in at least participating in building a community, an Islamic community will never be built.”
— Dr. Sayed Ammar Nakshawani, Biography of Fatima Zahra (ra)

Fathwa, - Self divorce

Question
I want to know whether there any such thing in Islaam as "self divorce" meaning Talaaq or divorce happens on its own after some circumstances as in case which I'm referring. A husband has left his wife who has a kid from him. He doesn't support her in any way n she has no sort of contact with him not even in mail. He doesn't even mail her or call her, didn't even divorce her. I want to know what law applies for her case. What does Shariah say about this? I've heard that if such case happens stays for two years then there is a self divorce in Islaam. Because Islaam doesn't allow a woman to be hung like this. Please explain in detail.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
It is incumbent upon each spouse to live with and treat the other honourably, as Allaah says )interpretation of meaning( addressing men: }…And live with them in kindness….{]4:19[. Allaah also says )interpretation of meaning(: }…Anddue to them ]i.e. the wives[ is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable…{]2:228[.
It is forbidden for either of them to procrastinate duties owed to the other, and each has to perform his/her obligations towards the other. The right of the wife upon her husband is to be provided with food, clothing and shelter. If the husband is absent from his wife and did not leave her any provisions, and it is not possible for her to borrow money on his behalf, then she can ask to invalidate the marriage through an Islamic court of Justice, as Allaah says )interpretation of meaning(: }…Then ]after that[, either keep ]her[ in an acceptable manner or release ]her[ with good treatment…{]2:229[.
'The Caliph 'Umarwrote to the leaders of soldiers who were absent from their wives, ordering them to provide for their wives or to divorce them. If they divorced, they sent sustenance for the previous period )during which they left their wives without provision(.' ]Al-Bayhaqi, Al-Shaafi'ee and Sa'eed Ibn Mansoor[
The same applies if the husband is absent and the wife is neglected as regards sexual intercourse, because it is incumbent for the husband to have sexual relations with his wife, as this is one of the greatest objectives of marriage. If she is neglected by not having her sexual desires fulfilled, she can ask for divorce.
Imaam Ibn Taymiyyahsaid: 'If the wife is harmed due to her husband not having sexual relationships with her, this necessitates divorce.'
We advise the sister asking the question to take her matter to an Islamic court, if any, or to the Muslim community if there is no Islamic court, to look into the case and oblige the husband to fulfill his obligations according to the Islamic Jurisprudence. The Judge is the person who grants divorce if the husband does not divorce her voluntarily. Thus, the questioner should know that there is no such 'self divorce' as stated in the question.
Allaah knows best.
