If he divorces his wife and he has children from her, is it permissible for him to visit her or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fifth question of Fatwa No. ( 5172 )
Q5: If a man divorces his wife and he has children from her, is it permissible for him to visit her or not?
A5: If he divorced her with a revocable divorce, it is permissible for him to visit her, to be alone with her, and to see of her what a husband sees of his wife, as long as she is in the waiting period, whether she has children from him or not. If her waiting period ends, she is a stranger with respect to him, so it is not permissible for him to be alone with her, nor to see anything of her except what is permissible for a stranger. If he divorced her in exchange for money, or if he divorced her with the final three divorces, she is irrevocably divorced, and her ruling is the ruling of a stranger with respect to him, so it is not permissible for him to be alone with her. If he wants to see his children from her, he should take a path other than being alone with her, such as asking the one among them who has reached the age of discernment to come to him, or sending a woman from his mahrams to bring to him whichever of his children he wants, or visiting her in the company of her mahram.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
