Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: What is the ruling if a man divorces his wife without a cause, and likewise if the wife requests a divorce without a cause?

Answer:
This is disliked. It is disliked for him to divorce her without a cause. As for if she requests a divorce without a cause, she is one upon whom Allah is angry. Any woman who asks her husband for a divorce without a cause, the fragrance of Paradise is forbidden to her. This is a severe warning.
