The ruling on marrying with the intention of divorce without writing that in the contract
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on marrying with the intention of divorce without writing that in the contract, citing what was reported from some of the Companions regarding this?
Answer:
Marrying with the intention of divorce is… it is a premeditated, intended temporary marriage, so this is not permissible, especially now that they have played with this issue. They took the fatwa issued by some scholars and started going…
…to East Asia and marry ten women or more at night. He enters upon one of them, relieves himself from her, and leaves, abandoning her. He takes what he wants and does not ask about her offspring or whether she is pregnant or not. His intention is only lust, and he uses this fatwa as a pretext to satisfy his lust. His intention is not marriage; his intention is only to satisfy his desire in the form of marriage. This is an invalid matter, and this is a matter that must be prevented, and this manipulation of the Shari'ah ruling must be blocked. Yes.
The fatwa of the one who issued it: if he marries one woman with the intention of divorce, he says this is valid. But the one who does it for a night or several nights, with a different woman each night, tasting the women of people—no one will ever issue a fatwa permitting this. Yes.
