The Condition of the Wife's Consent in Taking Her Back During the Waiting Period

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, if a husband wants to take back his wife during the waiting period, is the consent of the wife and her family required, or not?

Answer:
No, it is not required, if he has the right to take her back, because the right to take her back is his right, since she is still his wife. So if he takes her back, he is exercising his right,
And their husbands have more right to take them back in this [period] if they want reconciliation.وَبُعُولَتُهُنَّ أَحَقُّ بِرَدِّهِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ إِنْ أَرَادُوا إِصْلَاحًا
[Al-Baqarah 2:228]
, even if she does not consent, and even if her family does not consent; her family has no say in this. Yes.
