The Ruling on Writing a Divorce and the Ruling on Divorce in Anger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A somewhat lengthy letter arrived at the program from Makkah al-Mukarramah, and its sender indicated his name by the letters (H. H. M). He says in his letter: I have been married for five years, and my problem is that I was not praying, and my life was one of misguidance upon misguidance. During these years, many disagreements occurred between me and my wife. One day, the disagreement reached the point where I wrote her a paper, and in it: that I had divorced her three times, and I was in full possession of my mental faculties, and I called upon two witnesses. Before the end of the waiting period, I took her back. After that, several disagreements occurred between us, and the word divorce was always on my mouth, and most of it was when I was angry, then I would calm down, and take her back. But now, praise be to Allah, Allah has guided me, and I have committed myself to my religion, and I have repented, and turned to Allah, and left the days of misguidance. But O His Eminence the Shaykh! What confuses me is the issue of the divorce I mentioned. I ask you to clarify the matter to me, especially since I wrote it on the paper, and the repeated divorce when I was angry. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
We see that you should contact the court and ask them, and what the court deems sufficient is sufficient—may Allah will it. And if you are in the Kingdom, there is no harm in you contacting me personally so that I may look into the matter, may Allah will it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
