The Shaykh : If what?
The questioner : If her going with a mahram other than her husband results in this divorce, should she still perform Hajj?
The Shaykh : Meaning, if she performs Hajj with the mahram
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : without the husband's permission
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : she is exposed to the husband divorcing her
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, what is the obstacle?
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good
The Shaykh : But, but is there a woman who would be pleased with this divorce? Here is the struggle
The questioner : Allah ... .
The Shaykh : Here is the struggle. We receive questions from some women whose husbands are drunkards, who do not come home until the middle of the night, who do not pray and do not fast. When we tell them that it is not permissible for them to remain with him for an hour of the night or day, they say, what am I to do about the children?
The questioner : He does not rely upon Allah
The Shaykh : All these calamities, where is this woman? Would she be pleased for her husband to divorce her? I do not say, as some say, that she is pleased to divorce him; she divorces the husband. Divorce is in the man's hand, as is well known. This is very rare. If this is found, it is the obligatory thing, meaning obedience to the created being after obedience to the Creator, otherwise.
