Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a message from the listener Salih ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Hamud al-Du'ayyan. His question says: What is the ruling on a Muslim man who obtained a divorce certificate for his wife in the name of another man so that she could receive a salary from social security? And what is the ruling on the witnesses who testified in this certificate?
Answer:
If the reality is as stated, then this is reprehensible, and he is sinful, and the witnesses are sinful. And if he reported a previous divorce from a previous man who divorced her and then he married her afterwards, then even though it is true that she was divorced, they obscured the matter and concealed the truth. She was divorced and then married, and she is the wife of the one who obtained the certificate for her. In any case, it is forgery and reprehensible: either in the truth or in the appearance of the matter regarding the intended purpose. It is deception and lying to the court so that they may obtain their desired money without right. In any case, they deserve punishment for it, because it is reprehensible, deception, and trickery against the courts and the state. And this money is not permissible, because it was taken without right through an un-Islamic means. Yes.
The presenter: He also has another question, saying: What is the ruling on a Muslim man who proceeds to obtain a divorce certificate for his wife in the name of another man, while she is still under his responsibility, so that he can pay her a pension from social security, similar to the first one?
The Shaykh: Just as mentioned before, it is all reprehensible, it is all reprehensible, and the money paid to her with this forged certificate is forbidden. Yes.
The presenter: He also has remaining questions similar to this, saying: What is the ruling on a woman who was divorced and married another man, and after a long period, she asked her first husband for a divorce certificate to obtain a pension from social security, even though she is still under the responsibility of her current husband, knowing that...
The Shaykh: Just as mentioned before, and even if it is true in the actual reality that she is divorced, but she concealed the truth regarding the fact that she is married afterwards, then this is a deceptive reprehensible act, containing a trick and deception. Yes, we ask Allah for well-being. There is no power and no strength except by Allah. We seek refuge in Allah. Taking money without right is a reprehensible and illicit matter, so we ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
