Divorce after intercourse with a wife who is taking birth control pills
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is a man who divorced his wife after having intercourse with her while she was taking birth control pills. Is the divorce permissible in this case because he is confident that she is not pregnant, or must the divorce take place during a period of purity in which he did not have intercourse with her?
The Shaykh:
What is he saying?
The questioner:
A man divorced his wife after having intercourse with her while she was taking birth control pills. His question is: Is the divorce permissible here because he is certain that she is not pregnant, or must the divorce take place during a period of purity in which he did not have intercourse with her?
The Shaykh:
If the innovated divorce is of two types: the innovated divorce is of two types, innovated in number and innovated in time. Innovated in number is when he divorces her three times with one word; this is the innovation in number. Innovated in time is when he divorces her while she is menstruating or in post-natal bleeding.
Or when he divorces her during a period of purity in which he did not have intercourse with her. This is mentioned because he had intercourse with her during a period of purity, as menstruation did not come upon her due to the pills, so he had intercourse with her during a period of purity. This is an innovated divorce. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Ibn 'Umar, when he divorced his wife while she was menstruating, to take her back and divorce her during a period of purity in which he did not have intercourse with her. This is the Sunnah divorce: to divorce her during a period of purity in which he did not have intercourse with her. Yes.
