Question:
Is Ad-Dayyuth the one who speaks about what passes between him and his wife when they are alone, or who is Ad-Dayyuth, according to the correct view of the true Islamic religion? May Allaah reward you with goodness.
Answer:
Ad-Dayyath is one who accepts sin on the part of his wife, by approving of her committing adultery and does not prevent her from doing so, nor does he become angry for Allaahs sake, due to his lack of honour and self-respect, and weakness of faith. As for one who rebuked her and prevented her from sinning, he is not called Ad-Dayyuth.
