Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner — or rather, this is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for a woman to request a divorce from her husband?
Answer:
If there is a reason for this, such as her husband being negligent in his religion or engaging in forbidden matters, she may request a divorce from him. However, if her husband is upright and has no defect in his religion or his character, she may not request a divorce from him. The one who asks her husband for a divorce without any valid reason is forbidden the scent of Paradise, as stated in the hadith. Yes.
