The ruling on a woman’s divorce before consummation and how to take her back
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man divorces a woman before consummation, does she become divorced with a minor or major final divorce? And how does he take her back?
The Shaykh:
She becomes divorced with a major final divorce, and he has no right to take her back except with a new contract, unless he divorced her three times, in which case she becomes divorced with a major final divorce. I received a message saying, may Allah protect you, if you see fit to notify the students about the break next week, we say there is no objection. There are no lessons next week due to the break and the dispersal of people. Yes.
