The questioner:
The listener says that a man has four wives and has divorced one of them, and he asks what is required of him, because he wants to marry again?
The Shaykh:
He is required to wait until the fourth divorced wife exits the waiting period. Once she exits the waiting period, he may marry in her place.
The questioner:
This is if the divorce was revocable.
The Shaykh:
If it was an irrevocable divorce, because the effects of the marriage remain as long as the waiting period lasts.
