The ruling on the wife's family refusing to allow the husband to take back his wife after the waiting period has ended
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener (S. A. A.) from Dammam sent a message saying: I am telling you that I am divorced, and I have a son from my ex-wife who is three and a half years old. The divorce took place because of rumors and because of a type of action intended to cause separation between a man and his wife. After it was established for me that these rumors were false—praise be to Allah—and Allah helped me overcome the whispers of Satan by reciting the Qur'an frequently, I expressed to my wife's family my desire to take her back a year ago. However, they refused, perhaps because there are still remnants of the false rumors in their minds. I find no justification for their refusal, as I am—praise be to Allah—a righteous person in my life, and I am diligent in performing the prayer. I want our son to grow up between his mother and his father, as this has a positive effect on the child's psychology—as you know, may Allah reward you with good. There is an important point I would like to mention, which is that I have a feeling that the wife does not object much to returning, and I have sensed this from her in the past, but her parents and brothers are preventing it. I would like you to guide me out of this problem, whose negative effects I see have reflected on the entire family, and especially on the son. What is the way out of this problem? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You must go to the court, and what the court sees is sufficient; you must go to the court, and that is sufficient. If it is facilitated for someone to reconcile you, there is no harm; reconciliation is better. If a person reconciles you, then go back to the court regarding the divorce: does it forbid her to you or not? So regarding the divorce, you can go to the court until the court informs you if they are willing and permit it. You go to the court to seek a ruling on the divorce that has taken place and to know its reality. Then, after that, you do what the court directs you to do, what the court tells you. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
