The Ruling on Divorce When Coexistence Becomes Impossible
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Muhsin sent a question to your eminence, saying: Shaykh, if coexistence between the husband and wife becomes impossible, and all means of reconciliation have been exhausted by both parties, but reconciliation has not been achieved due to the increase and continuation of the problems, which have affected the children and worsened the wife’s mental state, and she has requested divorce,
Answer:
Yes, if the situation has reached this point, then separation, separation by divorce. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[An-Nisa 4:35] This addresses the disagreement between the spouses. If the treatment does not yield results, then Allah has made divorce an exit. For this reason, He said: [An-Nisa 4:130] Yes.

Answer:
Yes, if the situation has reached this point, then separation, separation by divorce. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
And if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people. If they both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause it between them
وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ شِقَاقَ بَيْنِهِمَا فَابْعَثُوا حَكَمًا مِّنْ أَهْلِهِ وَحَكَمًا مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا إِن يُرِيدَا إِصْلَاحًا يُوَفِّقِ اللَّهُ بَيْنَهُمَاBut if they separate [by divorce], Allah will enrich each [of them] from His abundance
وَإِن يَتَفَرَّقَا يُغْنِ اللَّهُ كُلًّا مِّن سَعَتِهِ
