Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is one of the sisters, Umm Abdullah, who says: When is it prescribed for a woman to request a divorce from her husband? And is she considered defiant in this case?
Answer:
Yes. If a woman refuses to obey her husband and to fulfill the rights he has over her, that is defiance. The woman should fear Allah, be afraid of Allah, and not request a divorce unless there is a cause that necessitates requesting a divorce. As for when there is no cause, the warning for her is severe if she requests a divorce without any valid reason. She faces a severe warning from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes.
