The ruling on a woman stipulating the divorce of her co-wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman stipulating the divorce of her co-wife.

The Shaykh:
So that she does not delay.

The questioner:
A woman stipulating the divorce of her co-wife: does she have the right to do so? And is it valid?

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for a woman to stipulate the divorce of her co-wives, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that. Yes.
