The questioner : First, a woman whose husband divorced her twice, and she says she has been divorced three times. The husband says he forgot the third time, and she recalls the details of the third time, while he neither denies nor confirms it.
The Shaykh : When he says he forgot the third one, it means he did not remember it.
The questioner : Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : Okay, then.
The questioner : So the question now is: is his word taken, or hers?
The Shaykh : No, if he does not deny it but rather makes an excuse of forgetfulness, then her word is taken.
The questioner : That is the reality of the situation.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He neither confirms nor denies it.
The Shaykh : All right, as long as he does not deny it, her word is taken.
The questioner : Okay, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
