Is there a way out for someone who divorced his wife by saying, “If you become pure, you are divorced”?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, is there no way out for a man whose wife has kept him busy with her frequent leaving of her husband’s house, abandoning her children, so that he can pronounce the divorce on her, even if she is not in a state of purity in which he has had intercourse with her? He wants to expedite the divorce because she has taken advantage of his leniency and quick forgetting; she has not ceased to be in a state of his satisfaction, and so on. And if he says, “If you become pure, if you become pure, you are divorced,” does that effect the divorce?
The Shaykh : I say that it is not permissible for him to divorce her in a state of purity in which he has had intercourse with her, no matter what the situation is, nor is it permissible for him to divorce her while she is menstruating.
And this third one, I think, is Kamil al-Jazairi.
