"Dream - The lives of married couples nowadays often collapse and end in divorce. Some of them even last only a few months or at most five years. The causes of divorce today can come from various reasons. Generally, many say they separate because they feel there is no longer compatibility in their household. Not only from the husband's side, a number of wives are also increasingly filing for divorce, known as 'khulu' in Islamic teachings."

The current question is whether it is permissible to file for divorce because a partner is too engrossed in their hobby. Quoting the nu.or.id website, Islam has emphasized that divorce is a permissible act but is frowned upon by Allah SWT. In matters of a wife filing for divorce through khulu’, Islam categorizes it into two categories: khulu’ based on reasons and khulu’ not based on reasons.

Imam Al-Mawardi quotes Al-Hawil Kabir, [Beirut, Darul Kutub Ilmiyah: 1999], vol V, page 10) explaining that khulu' is based on four reasons, one of which is mubah. Mubah khulu' consists of two types: first, khulu' due to disliking the husband because of his bad character, poor religion, and others. Second, khulu' due to the husband's inability to provide for his wife's needs. A similar explanation is provided by Sheikh Najib Al-Muthi'i. He states that among the permissible khulu' is when a wife requests a divorce because she is unhappy with her husband's character and religion, and she fears she cannot fulfill her rights as a wife.

"Seeing the explanation above, if the cause of the divorce (khulu’) is disliking the husband because of his hobby, then a divorce lawsuit may be filed if the husband's hobby includes bad behavior or hobbies that are prohibited in religion. "

"Included among bad hobbies are those that cause neglect of responsibilities as a husband. However, it is important to remember that pursuing hobbies is perfectly fine, but the rights and obligations as a husband must come first. Do not let the hobbies you engage in hinder the rights of your wife and children."

"Sometimes prioritizing hobbies not only impacts the fulfillment of livelihood but can also disrupt household life. A husband who is too focused on his hobby may place a heavier burden of responsibility in the household on his wife."
