Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for a father to divorce his daughter from her husband if he wants to marry a second woman, because of the action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) when he was angry?

The Shaykh : I did not understand the question.

The questioner : Is it permissible for a father to divorce his daughter from her husband because he married a second or third woman?

The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah.

The questioner : Regarding the action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) when he was angry for Fatimah and said:
She is a part of me; what angers her angers me. هي بضعة منّي يغضبني ما يغضبها
Is this evidence for that? What was the action of the Messenger, I mean?

The Shaykh : You understood the answer.

The questioner: Yes, I understood.

The Shaykh : And what is it?

The questioner : It is not permissible.

The Shaykh : It is not permissible.

The questioner : The action of the Messenger?

The Shaykh : What was the action of the Messenger?

The questioner : When he was angry because Ali wanted to marry a second woman over Fatimah, so he angered the Messenger, I mean, and he said:
She is a part of me. إنها بضعة مني


The Shaykh : I understand the hadith, but you are asking whether it is permissible for the wife's father to divorce her from her husband, is that not your question?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Okay, it has no relation to the hadith.

The questioner : That he gets angry at her and divorces her.

The Shaykh : Who gets angry at her? Her father?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Her father like the Messenger? And she like al-Batool?

The questioner : Meaning, is it specific to the Messenger?

The Shaykh : Without a doubt and no ambiguity, it is not permissible for the wife's father or the daughter's father to divorce her from her husband against his will, otherwise he would be like the sorcerers about whom Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife و يتعلّمون منهما ما يفرّقون به بين المرء و زوجه
[Al-Baqarah 2:102]
So this is not permissible.
