Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this man is insistent on presenting his question. He says it concerns the divorce of his wife. He says: My wife will enter the channel of glory for the sake of the children, on the basis that they are fed up and tired of life. She has refused and demanded a divorce to be relieved of the children and their weariness, and to go to her parents' home. So what is your advice to us all?
Answer:
He committed the lesser of two harms to avert the greater of them. If the intention is that the channel of glory ends the problem, then this is committing the lesser of two harms to avert the greater of them. Yes.
