Question:
This is a letter sent by our brother, the listener Muhammad Ali Abdullah Yahya al-Qaysi. His letter is somewhat lengthy because it contains a divorce case. He says: I submit this matter to your eminence, requesting your eminence to issue a ruling on it in the purified, Sharia-compliant manner that clears the conscience. My case is this: I have a wife, and there were several instances of disagreement and misunderstanding between us, which led me to divorce her with two separate divorces. The first divorce was taken back by her brothers on the same day, while for the second divorce, I obtained a legal document from the court and sent it to the wife’s family. However, the honorable judge mentioned in the document that I had previously taken her back twice, whereas the truth is that I only took her back once. This is the second time in which the divorce occurred, and I obtained a document based on it. I did not pronounce three divorces, neither verbally nor through taking back. Since I wish to take my wife back, and she likewise wishes to return now that the devil’s impulses have subsided and hearts have calmed down, I ask your eminence to issue a ruling on this matter and the extent of the permissibility of taking my wife back or not, given the desire on both sides. I confirm to your eminence that no more than two previous divorces occurred; one was taken back afterward, and the other resulted in the current divorce document, which is erroneous. I ask Allah to guide your eminence to what is good and right, to make you guides and guided, and to keep you on the path of truth and the religion of our master Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He is the All-Hearing, the Responsive. May Allah preserve and care for you.
Answer:
The answer is that you must go back to the judge. This is a matter concerning the judge, so you must go back to the judge. In what the judge sees, there is, if Allah wills, blessing. The judge is not to be accused of wrongdoing toward you or toward anyone else. Perhaps you are the one who forgot; the judge is more careful and more steadfast than you. So, go back to the judge and explain to him what you have. There is blessing and sufficiency in the judge, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
