Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And this person asks: What is the ruling on one who incites his brother to divorce his wife? What is the ruling on one who incites his brother to divorce his wife so that he can marry another?
The Shaykh:
What is the ruling on what?
The questioner:
That a man incites him and urges him to divorce his wife so that he can marry another woman.
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is not permissible. This is from *takhbib* (inciting a spouse to divorce). It is not permissible for anyone to incite a man against his wife, or to incite a woman against her husband, in order to marry another husband. It is forbidden; it is not permissible. In fact, regarding the proposal, it is not permissible for him to propose to a woman who is already engaged to his brother, until the brother either marries her or breaks off the engagement. How much more so is it forbidden to incite an existing wife, or to incite her husband against her, or to corrupt what is between them, in order to marry another woman? Yes.
