The questioner : Shaykh, if a man divorces...
The Shaykh : If what?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : If what?
The questioner : If a husband contracts a marriage with a wife and divorces her before consummating it, is it required that the second husband must consummate the marriage and have intercourse with her?
The Shaykh : How did he consummate it? Did he divorce her once?
The questioner : He divorced her with a final divorce, ... he did not consummate the marriage with her.
The Shaykh : What do you mean?
The questioner : The first husband contracted the marriage with her and then divorced her.
The Shaykh : He divorced her before consummating the marriage. Well, if he says, "You are divorced," the second divorce does not take effect on her, because if a woman with whom intercourse has not occurred and with whom seclusion has not occurred is divorced once, she is divorced, and any subsequent divorce does not apply to her.
