Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

Divorce always has bad consequences, so one should not hasten to divorce especially if the spouses are blessed with some children. Therefore, we advise you to endeavor to treat your wife.

What she is suffering from could be due to a physical cause, so you should not despair and you should consult skilled doctors. It could also be due to magic, according to the symptoms which you mentioned in your question.

Thus, you should advise her to perform Ruqyah, perform her religious obligations and recite the morning and evening legislated mention of Allaah. You may perform Ruqyah on her yourself or this may be done by any other pious person provided the religious requirements are met, like wearing Hijab in front of marriageable men and so forth. For more benefit on how to perform Ruqyah, please refer to Fataawa 91758 and 88660.

Finally, it should be noted that you may keep her as your wife whether or not she recovers from her illness, and you may marry a second wife if you can be just between them and equally fulfil your obligations towards them. For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 84411.

To conclude, we do not advise you to divorce her unless divorce is the only solution and the best for both of you.

Allaah Knows best.
