What is the ruling on a divorced woman who schemed to end her waiting period?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The one who induced an abortion and the one who took pills, are they treated by the opposite of their intent?
The Shaykh : He says: This woman who schemed to hasten the waiting period or to delay it, is it not possible that we treat her by the opposite of her intent?
The questioner : Some said so. Who said it? Divorce, yes.
The Shaykh : Do we say to you, the one who hastened the waiting period, that you remain and we prevent you from marriage until the duration of the pregnancy has passed?
The questioner : It is not permissible. Allah has legislated what is permissible; there is no addition to it.
The Shaykh : In any case, she returns to the judge's opinion. If he sees that it is in the public interest to prevent her from marriage, there is no harm, just as some of the Salaf prevented a suitor from marrying a woman who had been proposed to by another suitor, and he said that if the first suitor were to withdraw, this prohibition would not be lifted by that.
