The Ruling on Divorcing a Pregnant Woman and a Wife Praying Behind Her Husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does a husband divorce his wife while she is pregnant? And his second question is: Is it permissible for a husband to pray while his wife is with him in the same row?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is permissible for a husband to divorce his wife while she is pregnant, and there is no blame on him. This is a sunni divorce. What is forbidden is for him to divorce her while she is menstruating, or to divorce her during a period of purity in which he did not have intercourse with her and her pregnancy is not evident. This is an innovated divorce in terms of timing. But if she is pregnant, the concern is removed, and he may divorce her, praise be to Allah. The second question:
The questioner:
That he prays with her in one row.
The Shaykh:
This is permissible, and it is permissible for her to be behind him. There is no obstacle, as long as she is his wife. There is no obstacle to her standing with him or standing behind him. Yes.
