Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Now, Shaykh, regarding the cause: if the divorced woman has not been consummated, do we pronounce the full divorce? We divorce her before we consummate the marriage; does she have to complete the three-month period?

The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not remember, except that our brothers were mentioning something.

The presenter : If Allah wills.

The questioner : If we recite the verse, we mentioned it.

The Shaykh : What is it?

The presenter : And if you divorce women before you touch them, before you consummate with them, there is no waiting period upon you.

The Shaykh : Write it down, yes, this is it, look, the news has arrived, come, Glory be to You, O Allah, I bear witness that there is no deity but

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Yes.
