The ruling on forcing a wife who has been divorced once to return to her husband

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a wife is divorced once and then her husband takes her back, is she forced to return to her husband, or does she have the choice if she refuses?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for her; she does not have the choice. She is a wife; as long as she is in the waiting period, she is a wife. , meaning during the waiting period. So the choice is not hers; the choice is his, that of her husband, until her waiting period ends and then she is separated from him. Yes.
