A man embraces Islam, but his wife remains a mushrik.

Question

A man embraces Islam, but his wife remains a mushrik. Can he retain his wife whilst he is making da'wah to her, until she accepts Islam?

Answer

If the wife is a mushrik, not a Christian, then the marriage immediately ends when the man embraces Islam. He may not live with her. He will be living in adultery.
