My question is that my husband

and haram.He did’nt care about the case,but what is my hokom in this case??

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

We put the following question to Shaykh
Muhammad Saalih ibn Uthaymeen:

Her husband has bought a house with haraam money. Can she
refuse to live in it?

He replied, may Allaah preserve him:

No, she cannot refuse to live in
it, because she is living there rightfully. It is he who has acquired the house in a
wrongful manner. But if he has seized another person’s house by force, then she has the
right to refuse to live in it.

And Allaah knows best.
