People look at the divorced woman with a look of contempt and disdain; is there a word to say?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Shaykh Salih, people look at the divorced woman with a certain look, perhaps a look of independence, a look of contempt, and a look of disdain. Is there a word? May Allah preserve you. People, or some people, look at the divorced woman with a look that contains some contempt and disdain. Is there a word?

Answer:
This is a matter that is not permissible. One should not look at the divorced woman with a look of contempt, because she is a Muslim woman, and divorce, praise be to Allah, is not among the matters that have an effect on the woman. Perhaps she is divorced while being among the best of women in character and the best of women in conduct. There is no defect in divorce, and there is no blame in it. So the one who belittles divorced women is a sinner.
