May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Some people are lax in the matter of divorce, Shaykh Salih. Perhaps he enjoys a woman for a month or two or a specific period, then divorces her and replaces her with another, and so on. Do you have a word to say, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
A person should not be a connoisseur who marries and divorces, marries and divorces. This is prohibited and not desirable in the Shari'ah. A person marries with the intention of settling down. If the woman is good for him, she remains with him. If she is not good for him, he divorces her[Al-Baqarah 2:229]. As for the one who marries and divorces by way of hobby or for the sake of pleasure, this is disliked or forbidden, because of the harm it causes to women and the squandering of their rights. Yes.
