Divorce without cause and citing the verse of replacement
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on one who replaces his wife, based on His saying, the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:20], holding that it is permissible to divorce and replace the woman with another, even without a cause.
Answer:
If divorce is without cause, it is blameworthy, because what is sought in the marriage bond and cohabitation is what the Lawgiver has commanded: treating the wife well and being patient with any bad character she may exhibit, as you have heard. If it is without cause, it is disliked. If it is in response to a valid reason, it is permissible.
[An-Nisa 4:130]. It is permissible when there is a need and disliked when there is no need. It is forbidden if it is a hasty divorce. A hasty divorce is forbidden if it is pronounced with a single phrase, or if it occurs during menstruation, or if it occurs during post-natal bleeding. This is forbidden. Divorce is sometimes forbidden, sometimes disliked, and sometimes permissible. Yes.
He says: What is the ruling on one who replaces his wife, based on His saying, the Exalted:
But if you want to replace one wife with another
وَإِنْ أَرَدتُّمُ اسْتِبْدَالَ زَوْجٍ مَّكَانَ زَوْجٍAnswer:
If divorce is without cause, it is blameworthy, because what is sought in the marriage bond and cohabitation is what the Lawgiver has commanded: treating the wife well and being patient with any bad character she may exhibit, as you have heard. If it is without cause, it is disliked. If it is in response to a valid reason, it is permissible.
But if they separate [by divorce], Allah will enrich each [of them] from His abundance. And ever is Allah Encompassing and Wise.
وَإِن يَتَفَرَّقَا يُغْنِ اللَّهُ كُلًّا مِّن سَعَتِهِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ وَاسِعًا حَكِيمًا
