Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: The jurists say that if a man marries a woman during her waiting period and consummates the marriage, she is permanently forbidden to him?
The Shaykh : Which jurists?
The student: The scholars, in the books of Islamic jurisprudence.
The Shaykh : Whose books? May Allah reward you. According to the Hanbali school of jurisprudence, she is not forbidden. However, there is a report from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab that he forbade her to the man who married her as a punishment for him, a punishment for him. It is not a prohibition based on kinship or in-law relations, but a punishment for him. Perhaps the maxim of Ibn Rajab has passed you by: "Whoever hastens to do something before its time, in a forbidden manner, is punished by being deprived of it" This is a useful maxim for a student of knowledge. Yes, that is fine.
