Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding a woman who marries and then is divorced before the marriage is consummated, is she considered a thayyib or a virgin, such that she must be asked for her consent? He says: Is a woman who marries and then is divorced before the marriage...

Answer:
...before the birth of a child, meaning, meaning he contracted the marriage with her and divorced her before the birth of a child.
when you marry believing women and then divorce them before you have touched themإِذَا نَكَحْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَمَسُّوهُنَّ
[Al-Ahzab 33:49]
This is not considered anything. A thayyib is the one with whom intercourse has taken place; that is the thayyib.
