Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for this divorced woman to go out to her husband and talk to him during the waiting period?
The Shaykh : If this is the first divorce without compensation, or the second divorce without compensation, then she may talk to him, meet with him, and adorn herself for him, because she is his wife as long as she is in the waiting period. Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:228] He said: meaning their husbands meaning in that time, which is the time of the waiting period. For this reason, the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said that the divorced woman subject to revocable divorce is in the status of wives, except in matters they excluded. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : If this is the first divorce without compensation, or the second divorce without compensation, then she may talk to him, meet with him, and adorn herself for him, because she is his wife as long as she is in the waiting period. Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said:
Divorced women remain in waiting for three periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have more right to take them back in this [period]
وَالمُطَلَّقاتُ يَتَرَبَّصنَ بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ ثَلاثَةَ قُروءٍ وَلا يَحِلُّ لَهُنَّ أَن يَكتُمنَ ما خَلَقَ اللَّهُ في أَرحامِهِنَّ إِن كُنَّ يُؤمِنَّ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الآخِرِ وَبُعولَتُهُنَّ أَحَقُّ بِرَدِّهِنَّ في ذلِكَAnd their husbands
وَبُعولَتُهُنَّhave more right to take them back in that time
أَحَقُّ بِرَدِّهِنَّ في ذلِكَThe questioner : May Allah reward you.
