The ruling on the divorce of a spendthrift while he is under legal interdiction
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If he divorces his wife, the divorce is valid, because legal interdiction preserves the wealth, and divorce preserves it and does not squander it. If she seeks a divorce from him
The Shaykh : that is a difficult matter for you. It preserves the wealth from one angle and does not squander it, but it obligates him with more, because if he divorces his wife and he has desire, he will seek a new wife. However, in any case, the wealth is not considered in divorce, so if he divorces, the divorce takes effect, because the matter of loving a woman or hating her is something that returns to the self, not to the wealth.
