Is it true that you issue rulings that the bid'ah divorce does not take effect?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. We understood, O our Shaykh, if our understanding is correct, that you issue rulings that the bid'ah divorce does not take effect. Is this true?
The Shaykh : Where did you understand that from?
The questioner : From the questions that were directed to you.
The Shaykh : By Allah, we do not see this. We do not see that the bid'ah divorce takes effect. However, if a man divorces and commits to the divorce, and the waiting period ends and the woman leaves, we hold him to it. But if he comes to us and has just divorced, or a day or two ago, and she is still in the waiting period, we say: Take back your wife.
The questioner : Yes, on the condition that it does not take effect?
The Shaykh : Yes, it does not take effect, unless he has committed to it and the waiting period has ended.
The questioner : Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : Yes.
