"cuckold / spineless pimp"

A man who knows his wife or female relatives are sexually active with other men and does nothing about it — or worse, approves. The word appears in hadith literature: the Prophet reportedly said 'three shall not enter Paradise,' and one of the three is the dayyuth. It's not just a social insult but a theological condemnation with heavenly consequences.

رجل ديوث ما يغار على أهله. (Rajol dayyuth ma yighaar ala ahlu. - A dayyuth man doesn't feel protective jealousy over his family.) — The religiously-framed version.
