Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I do not desire my wife and I want to divorce her, but I am only retaining her because of her desire to raise her daughters and fulfill their obligations, knowing that I am looking for another wife. Is there any sin on me in this intention and in this retention?
Answer:
Her daughters are with her as long as they are young; they remain with her until she marries another husband. Her custody of them is valid as long as she has not married. Yes.
