Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it permissible for a husband to divorce his wife solely because of her advanced age?

Answer:
Yes. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to divorce Sawdah bint Zamamah when she grew old, so she asked him to keep her, and he gave her night to Aishah.
