The ruling on pronouncing triple divorce with a single word in a state of anger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The question: This correspondent writes in his letter about a marital relationship: If a heated discussion occurs between me and my wife and I become angry with her and say to her: "You must choose to go with me now, or else you are not my wife," but she refused and insisted on not going with me, so I became angrier than before because she had angered me, and I said to my brother in anger: "Tell her that she is divorced with three divorces." After that, about three days later, I returned and had two witnesses testify that I had taken my wife back into my protection. What is the ruling in this matter? Is she lawful for me or not? Knowing that I have a child from her, I hope you will answer me regarding this. And peace be upon you. The correspondent (H. A. F.) from Ha'il ......... ?
The answer: This issue requires consideration, and the custom in such cases is that we refer the woman, the man, and the woman's guardian to the judge so that he may take the statements of everyone, and after that the fatwa is issued. The summary is that pronouncing triple divorce with a single word is considered one divorce, but there is a distinction in this matter regarding the severity of the anger and regarding the woman's situation. If he is truthful, there is one situation, and if she denies his words, there is another situation. What I see for this questioner is that he should write to us about what happened to him, or come in person, and we will refer him to the head of the courts in Ha'il so that he may take the statement of the woman, the statement of her guardian, and his statement. From now on, we advise him to go to the judge and to record his statement, his wife's statement, and her guardian's statement with the judge, and to come to us if Allah wills, or to send it by mail and the answer will come to him if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
