Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Hello.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : How are you, Shaykh Abu Abd al-Rahman?

The Shaykh: Who?

The questioner : Do you have a questioner with you, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Do you have a questioner with you?

The Shaykh : A Muslim.

The questioner : Yes, Muslim.

The Shaykh : Where is the greeting?

The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. I greeted you first, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Allah knows best.

The questioner : No, by Allah, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Then you did not greet me.

The questioner : It appears you did not hear my greeting, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Or you did not hear me.

The questioner : Yes, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings. What is your question?

The questioner : Yes, a man divorced his wife with one pronouncement of divorce. He said to her, "You are divorced," and she went to her family's house and stayed there for about one year. Now the man wants to take his wife back. What is the ruling, my Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Clarify your question, may Allah guide you. He wants to return his wife to him, but that is not your question. What is your question?

The questioner : My question is: a man divorced his wife.

The Shaykh : Do not repeat the question. Clarify your question.

The questioner : A man divorced his wife with one pronouncement of divorce and wants to take her back, and she stayed at her family's house for about one year.

The Shaykh : And I told you, he has that.

The questioner : Meaning, he makes her lawful again.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Without a new contract, my Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Do you see how incomplete your question is? May Allah guide you.

The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : A new contract and a new mahr are necessary.

The questioner : Yes, a new mahr.

The Shaykh : Yes, a new mahr and a new contract, as if he had never married her at all.

The questioner : Ah, may Allah reward you with good, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And you, and peace be upon you.
