The Spread of Divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The word for divorce has become common on every tongue, especially among the youth, or sometimes they intend it as an oath. May Allah reward you. What is your guidance regarding this?
Answer:
Answer: Our guidance is that the Muslim should avoid uttering the words of divorce as much as he can, in order to preserve his wife. He should avoid the words of divorce and not be lax with them, nor joke with them, nor play with them, nor say that he is threatening her or something similar to that, as some ignorant people do. Divorce is a weapon that is not used except when there is a need, and only to the extent that removes the need. So, he should not be lax in this matter. As for the one in whom something of divorce has occurred, he must contact the court and the judge in his country, or come to the Ifta' in Riyadh to ask about what has occurred to him.
