Not wanting to pray salah with husband

Asalaam alaykum waramotuLLAH wabarakatuh, I have been married to my husband for 12years now and I have been observing my salah with him even though most of the time I am not satisfied with the speed he prays.

In recent weeks, he’s beginning to raise his hands on me which he has never done before since we got married and I made him understand that I will never pray behind him again until he realises his mistake of beating me because I see him as a hypocrite .

Is it permissible for me on the condition that he raises his hands on me not to pray behind him?

Look for clarity

Ad Salumu alakium and Ramadan Mubarak 

 We are trying ti find clarity on these answers.

Jazkalah khair 

1) Should the Muslims in prison stop going to juma services because of Covid-19? We are told by prison officials to stay six feet apart, so the Imam gives his kutbah, and we pray, then we do the congregational prayer at a distance. However, some brothers have chose to stay away because of what is going on in the Muslim community around the world. What is the best approach for a man practicing Islam in prison during covid-19?

2) We all know that shaytaan is locked down during the month of Ramadaan. Does this confinement begin once any part of the world spots the moon, or is shaytaan free to rome in the parts of the world where technically are still in shabaan? Please help me gain clarity on this matter.

Inquiry
