The ruling on a woman divorced with a revocable divorce regarding her status as a wife in terms of adornment, uncovering, and other matters.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If a man asks, "If she remains in the marital home, is it permissible for her to uncover her face before him?" The answer is yes. It is permissible for her to uncover her face before him, it is permissible for her to adorn herself for him, it is permissible for her to use perfume for him, it is permissible for her to speak to him and for him to speak to her, and it is permissible for him to be alone with her. All of this is permissible because she is his wife. Allah the Exalted said in Surat al-Baqarah: [Al-Baqarah 2:228] The marriage does not end if the divorce is revocable; it ends only when the waiting period expires. Therefore, we say that if a man divorces his wife with a revocable divorce, she remains in the house. The reality of people today is that when he divorces his wife, she runs away from the house and does not stay there. Yes, and this is forbidden for her. Perhaps he himself may expel her, saying, "Get out of the house," and this is forbidden for him. If she leaves, she is sinful, and if he expels her, he is sinful. She must remain until the waiting period ends, and then she goes to her family.
