Testimony to the Review of a Wife During the Waiting Period
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, may Allah preserve you, says: If a husband wants to take back his wife during the waiting period, is it obligatory for someone to witness this taking back?
Answer:
Yes, Allah commanded witnessing the taking back, saying: “And take two witnesses from among you, just men.” However, this command is for recommendation, not obligation. So if he takes her back without witnessing, whether by words or by action, his taking her back is valid, even if he did not have witnesses, because witnessing in this matter is a recommended practice. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
