Seeking money in exchange for taking back a divorced wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, if a man divorces his wife and wants to take her back, they ask him for money or gold or something else. Is this permissible?
Answer:
By Allah, the matter of divorce and taking back a wife is not something we handle; that is for the lawyer, and they refer it to the judge. I do not get involved in matters of divorce, lawsuits, or disputes involving parties, because we do not know the evidence of the litigants in them, and we are not among the judges. This is not within our purview; it is among the affairs of the judges. May Allah assist them.
