Question:
We hear among the students of knowledge that the ruling of divorce is rejected and annulled when the public interest requires not separating the children and letting them be lost,
Answer:
This is with the Christians. This is with the Christians. This is an imitation of the Christians, because the Christians are the ones who do not permit divorce and oblige the husband to his wife for his entire life; he does not divorce her. They call it "the Christian divorce" among the common people; they say "the Christian divorce," and may Allah protect us from that. So the one who says that the divorce does not take effect at this time because it separates [the family], that is exactly the speech of the Christians. Yes.
