Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: Her husband cannot bear with her, and she cannot bear with him. She says he wants to divorce her, so she suggested to him that he leave her in a suspended state, and that she would forgive him of all her marital rights, including her night. Is this request permissible for her?
Answer:
By Allah, this is for the judge, the qadi. He is to look at the situation between them, or reconcile them, or separate them. Yes.
