Testimony to the Taking Back of a Wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it obligatory to have witnesses when taking back a divorced wife?

Answer:
It is not obligatory. I bear witness now to a just guardian from among you regarding the taking back. They say this is a matter of guidance, not a matter of obligation. If he takes her back without witnesses, the taking back is valid. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
