Question Detail:

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
 
We understand the emotional trauma you experience due to discovering your husband’s immoral conduct. The challenge of life is in rising over and above your emotions and addressing issues. When rational prevails, it is more likely you will succeed in your endeavour to address issues. Addressing issues whilst being governed by emotions compounds the problems.
We advise you to compose yourself and collect all the information you have and confront your husband. Tell him you wish to know the truth and wish to help him come out of his sinful act. Tell him your concern is more about him violating Shari’a rather than violating your rights and you are there to assist him to reform. Win his confidence and let him confide in you. Ask him if you are fault in something which you are supposed to do as a wife that results in his sinful acts. You know your husband best and you would know when and how best he could be approached to solicit a responsible response. Also, turn to Allah and make a lot of dua to Allah to guide you and to change your husband.
 
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
