The ruling on divorce by one who suffers from a psychological condition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A man complains of a psychological condition at times, meaning a split personality, and he has divorced his wife more than once on more than one day. When he recovers and remembers, he regrets it and says, “If I had been in my current state, I would not have done it.”
The Shaykh:
O brothers, we do not answer regarding divorce in a way that bypasses the courts. Divorce goes to the courts or to the lawyer, where it is registered and the case is regulated. It is not just a divorce off the top of the head, mere talk. This is not permissible. It requires regulation and must go to the court, or one must come to the lawyer for the necessary procedures to be carried out.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Because some of the brothers and some of the students of knowledge issue rulings on divorce, including the triple divorce, and this is not permissible for them. These are matters that require regulation and caution. People today are full of lying, full of fraud, and full of ignorance. Divorce is a serious matter that requires regulation. These are women’s private parts; it is not permissible for a person to issue a ruling on them off the top of the head without verification and without regulation.
