The questioner : Shaykh!
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Bulugh al-Maram 7:57: We mentioned, may Allah reward you, that the husband has no right to separate by requesting release.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : That the husband does not separate by requesting release, because.
The Shaykh : No, what?
The questioner : I say: He does not separate by requesting release, because he can get out of it by divorce.
The Shaykh : No, no. We said: If the husband divorces his wife, does he receive reward for that or not?
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh : Does he receive the reward of the one who releases? Or did the wife come to him requesting that?
The questioner : But does he have the right?
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : Does he have the right to say: “Release me”? We mentioned that he does not have that right; he only gets out of it by divorce.
The Shaykh : Yes, if he said: “Release me,” if he said: “Release me,” and they released him, they do not give this reward, because the contract is not binding on the husband, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only established the reward for a binding contract from which a person cannot get out except by release.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever accepts back what he sold to a Muslim
