Dream - Online gambling is increasingly rampant among the community. This has created addiction for some people who have tried this illegal game. Sadly, online gambling also brings about other problems, including within household life. Husbands who may have initially tried it out, then find pleasure in this game, end up being trapped in it. The consequences are not trivial. It starts from accumulating debts to complicated marital conflicts. Yes, it cannot be denied that this becomes a concern and a special caution for wives.

The prohibition of gambling is explained in the Quran through Surah Al-Maidah verses 90-91: "O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful. Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So will you not desist?"

"In addition, gambling also has a very significant negative impact. Such as causing hostility and hatred, forgetting the obligation to worship Allah SWT, and can damage social and economic life."

Not a few people try the game with the aim of entertainment until they get benefits. However, in the end, it actually creates problems, including in married life. A husband who should seek a halal livelihood to support his family, but chooses the path of gambling to gain instant profits. Which wife wouldn't be worried about her partner's actions like that?

In a YouTube video titled "Dakwah Singkat Padat," Ustadz Abdul Somad or UAS explains how to deal with a husband who likes to gamble. He states that a wife has six guardians, namely father, grandfather, brother, sister, father's brother, and father's sister. When a husband gambles, the wife's response should not be to scold him. Instead, it is advised to report to the trusted guardian. "If your husband gambles, you shouldn't get angry at him, but report it to the guardian. The guardian will summon the husband to be informed," UAS explains.

Selain itu, Islam teaches that forgiveness is a good quality. Because Allah SWT also has the attribute of forgiveness towards His sinful servants. So, if a husband intends to stop gambling and repent to Allah SWT, then Allah SWT will forgive him. "If he wants to repent, then he should not pray. A person who repents is not sinful," said UAS. When a husband involves himself in gambling, the wife has two choices. Either to forgive or to accept it.

"If the wife does not accept it, she can choose to end the relationship with her husband. 'If the mother doesn't want to accept it, then divorce. The mother can end the relationship, it's called Khulu, if it's a man it's called talak which means divorce. If she wants to continue, a repentant husband can be accepted well. If not accepted, it can be taken to court,' UAS explained."
