Question
A woman practises jadoo without her husband's knowledge. What is the state of the Nikah and the children born to this couple?
Answer
If the husband learns of his wife's kufr, he should not treat her as a wife. She should first repent, renew her Imaan, and the Nikah should also be renewed. However, in this case the children will not be illegitimate since the husband was not aware and he cohabited with her as his wife.
