Ruling on Divorcing a Nursing Woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man divorced his wife while she was nursing, and a full year passed between them after the separation. Is this divorce valid or not valid?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to divorce her until he has abstained from her; he should divorce her after he has touched her. If he divorces her after he has touched her, this is reprehensible and not permissible, as Ibn 'Umar mentioned regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:Sahih al-Bukhari 7160 He should divorce her before he touches her.
