I told my wife: If you do not cover your leg, you will not know me and I will not know you. Is this a divorce?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : The Shaykh : Al-Albani.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I want to ask you a question, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Raise your voice.
The questioner : I want to ask you a question, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : O Shaykh, I was sitting with my wife and I told her to cover her leg. I said to her, "If you do not cover it, you will not know me and I will not know you." And after a while... I had no control over what came out. Does this count as anything? I mean, uh.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I was not thinking about your words, and I do not understand what you mean. Did you understand what you said when you said it?
The questioner : Yes, by Allah...
The Shaykh : Hmm.
The questioner : I do not know what words came out of my mouth.
The Shaykh : Well, and how would I know?
The questioner : How would you know?
The Shaykh : Since you do not know, how can I know?
The questioner : I mean, I told you that I was sitting with my wife.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. I am asking you: did you understand what you said?
The questioner : Yes, I understood it.
The Shaykh : Well, then explain it to me now.
The questioner : I mean, the meaning of the words. Some people say that this phrase is a form of separation, in the sense that "you will not know me and I will not know you."
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And some people say it depends on your intention.
The Shaykh : And which group do you belong to?
The questioner : I did not intend anything.
The Shaykh : And I, therefore, tell you...
The questioner : Tell me, O Shaykh, does a divorce occur with this or not?
The Shaykh : I do not know, since you do not know what you intended by these words?
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : So I do not know. May Allah guide you. Think about what you say, and then ask about what you want to ask about. Peace be upon you.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : The Shaykh : Al-Albani.
The Shaykh: Yes.
