The husband saying to his wife, "Go to your family"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the case where he says to her, "Go to your family," is it not more appropriate that she remain with him and then lengthen the waiting period?

Answer:
No, go to your family. He has forbidden you by a single pronouncement of divorce. As for remaining with him, that is the recommended practice; that is the obligatory thing, to remain with him. It does not benefit her in the house unless it is the final pronouncement, because the final pronouncement has made her forbidden to him.
