On Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) divorcing his wife: Some scholars have stated that it was counted; is this correct?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I understood from your lesson that Abdullah ibn 'Umar's divorce was not valid, not as some say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to take her back, but rather that it was counted.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, no, it was counted.
The questioner : It was counted?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, it was counted, but he means he said in the explanation: and he is excused; because he did not know the ruling.
The questioner : Okay; if someone does what he did, is it counted?
The Shaykh : Yes, because Ibn 'Umar himself was asked the question and answered that it is counted, and he said to him: What do you think if he acted foolishly?
The questioner : So we understand that it is counted, but he must take her back?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, he takes her back; meaning, it is a revocable divorce.
The questioner : Even if he completed the three?
The Shaykh : That is enough.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, no, it was counted.
