And they are forbidden from it by anyone other than her husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said "And they are forbidden from it by anyone other than her husband". "From it" means from the woman in the revocable waiting period, by anyone other than her husband. May Allah forgive them. "They are forbidden" means that both explicit and implicit proposals are forbidden regarding the woman in the revocable waiting period by anyone other than the husband. That is, it is forbidden to propose to the woman in the revocable waiting period, explicitly or implicitly. Pay attention. It is forbidden to propose to the woman in the revocable waiting period, explicitly or implicitly. All right. An example of this is a man who divorced his wife with a revocable divorce, and she is currently in the waiting period. It is forbidden for anyone else to propose to her, explicitly or implicitly. That means it is not permissible for him to go to her or her family and say, "Marry me to her." This is the explicit proposal. Or he says, "I am interested in someone like her." What is this? It is the implicit proposal. Why? Because the woman in the revocable waiting period is a wife, and proposing to her ruins her for her husband. Proposing to her ruins her for her husband. Just as it is not permissible for a person to go to a man's wife and say, "Oh so-and-so, your husband is poor, ugly in appearance, and bad in character. But I have much wealth and beauty as you see, and my character is sweeter than honey and softer than butter. Marry me to yourself." Is that permissible?
The questioner : No, it is forbidden.
The Shaykh : If he says this is out of advice, I advise her because she is currently with this man who is in the depths of darkness with her, and religion is advice. What do you say? We say, but religion is not about causing corruption among people. And one of the greatest things is attempting to separate a man from his family, which is the path of the sorcerers[Al-Baqarah 2:102]. All right. In any case, the proposal to the woman in the waiting period has categories. There is the one whose proposal is forbidden explicitly and implicitly, the one whose proposal is permissible explicitly and implicitly, the one whose proposal is forbidden explicitly but not implicitly, and the fourth category is the one whose proposal is forbidden implicitly but not explicitly. This is the logical division, my brothers. The logical division has four categories: the one whose proposal is forbidden explicitly and implicitly, the one whose proposal is permissible explicitly and implicitly, the one whose proposal is forbidden implicitly but not explicitly, and the one whose proposal is forbidden explicitly but not implicitly. This is a logical division. What do we say? We say, but we divide the rulings of the Shari'ah according to a Shari'ah division. We have no concern with the logical division. So we say the proposal to the woman in the waiting period is divided into three categories. The first is the one whose proposal is permissible explicitly and implicitly. The second is the one whose proposal is not permissible, neither explicitly nor implicitly. The third is the one whose proposal is permissible implicitly but not explicitly. All right. The one whose proposal is permissible explicitly and implicitly is the one who is in the waiting period of a final divorce, if the proposer is the one who divorced her.
The questioner : The husband.
The Shaykh : The one who divorced her, correct? We do not say "her husband," Khalid, what is wrong with you? She is currently divorced from him, yes, considering what came before. All right. So we say "the one who divorced her" is better. The woman in the waiting period, what is she? Who is the one whose proposal is permissible explicitly and implicitly? The woman in the waiting period of a final divorce by the one who divorced her, except in the case of three divorces. All right. Who is the one whose proposal is permissible implicitly but not explicitly? The woman in the waiting period of a final divorce, and the proposer is other than her husband. Is that right or not? This is permissible implicitly but not explicitly, whether the final divorce was due to death or a final divorce during his lifetime. Who is the one whose proposal is permissible explicitly and implicitly?
The questioner : The woman in the revocable waiting period.
The Shaykh : The woman in the revocable waiting period.
The questioner : ... her husband.
The Shaykh : Who is the one whose proposal is permissible explicitly and implicitly?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Up to now we are confused. The woman in the waiting period of a final divorce by less than three divorces from her husband is the one we mentioned just now. All right. Who is the one whose proposal is forbidden explicitly and implicitly? The woman in the revocable waiting period and the woman in the waiting period of a final divorce by three divorces from her husband. No, the woman in the waiting period of a final divorce by three divorces from her husband. The woman in the waiting period of a final divorce by three divorces from other than her husband is implicit but not explicit. The woman in the waiting period of a final divorce by three divorces from her husband, her proposal is forbidden explicitly and implicitly.
So the one whose proposal is forbidden explicitly and implicitly is the woman in the revocable waiting period, and the second is the woman in the waiting period of a final divorce by three divorces from her husband. Why, since he is her husband? Yes? Because he has no way to marry her, since she is forbidden to him until she marries another husband. Grasp the division. You see, the divisions summarize the scientific issues for you. These are the rulings regarding the proposal to the woman in the waiting period. Yes?
The questioner : O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes? 'Abdullah?
The questioner : No, it is forbidden.
The Shaykh : If he says this is out of advice, I advise her because she is currently with this man who is in the depths of darkness with her, and religion is advice. What do you say? We say, but religion is not about causing corruption among people. And one of the greatest things is attempting to separate a man from his family, which is the path of the sorcerers
And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife
