Regret over a conditional divorce before the condition is met
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A questioner says: If a man divorces his wife with a conditional divorce, then regrets it before the condition is fulfilled, what is required of him?
Answer:
Nothing has happened to him. If he said, “I have made it light,” meaning, “If a month passes, you are divorced,” and then he regrets it, saying, “By Allah, I do not want to divorce her; I would rather make it light than make it conditional,” we say: No, you do not want it more. This is not in your hands. It is finished. If the month passes, the divorce takes place, even if he wants to retract it.
