Is the wife's guardian's consent required for taking her back during the waiting period?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner asks: Does the husband have the right to take his wife back while she is in the waiting period, given that the wife's father did not agree to his taking her back?

Answer:
There is a distinction here. If the divorce was a revocable divorce of one or two pronouncements, he takes her back during the waiting period. If he has completed the three pronouncements of divorce, he has no right to take her back except after a new marriage contract; the husband marries her and has intercourse with her. There is a distinction here; if it is difficult for him, he should ask the scholars, ask the court, or ask whichever scholar he has access to.
