Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a man marries a woman while desiring her, and then learns that the woman wants to return to her previous husband, so he divorces her for that reason, is it permissible for her to return?
Answer:
He divorced her of his own choice. What prevents you from returning to the first husband with a new contract? Yes. He was not forced to divorce her; he divorced her of his own choice, desiring to be rid of her. Yes.
