As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

First of all, anyone who abandons the salat and anyone who does not fast during the month of ramadhan is considered to be a Kaafir. Abd thus this women is no longer considered to be married to this man and is supposed to leave him immediately otherwise she is living in Zinna:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him):

�Between a man and shirk and kufr there stands his neglect of the prayer.� (Narrated by Muslim in Kitaab al-Eemaan from Jaabir ibn �Abd-Allaah from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)).

It was narrated that Buraydah ibn al-Husayb (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:

�I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: �The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is the prayer, and whoever neglects it has disbelieved (become a kaafir).�� (It was narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa�i and Ibn Maajah).

Al-Haafiz al-Dhahabi (may Allaah have mercy on him)
said,

"Among the believers it is well-established that whoever does not fast in Ramadaan without a valid excuse is worse than an adulterer or drunkard; they doubt whether he is even a Muslim at all, and they regard him as a heretic and profligate."

Shaykh al-Islam [Ibn Taymiyah] (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

"If a person does not fast in Ramadaan knowing that it is haraam but making it halaal for himself to do so, kill him; and if he does it because he is immoral [but believes it is haraam], then punish him for not fasting." (Majmoo' al Fataawa, 25/265).

So thus this women needs to leave this man immediately.

In regards to accepting money from another man, this too is not lawful for her to do because until she divorces her husband she is not supposed to receive gifts from other men. To do so is an act of Zina. What is she doing having a friendship with another man anyway.. this is totally against Islam! There are no friendships between non mahram men and women in islam!

I suggest this women fear Allah and before even think to make hijrah anywhere she needs to check her life and her soul and get them together.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
