Where does this divorced woman observe her waiting period?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The other question.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : The waiting period: She should observe it in my house, because this man said to me, word for word, "My brother, if you want me, I will give you the truth." I said, "Yes." He said, "I do not like your daughter." I said, "My brother, divorce her with three divorces so that I can take her from your house." He said, "My brother, even if I divorce her with three, I am not a fool. I will divorce her with one, and she will observe her waiting period with me for three months. On the twenty-sixth or twenty-seventh of December, you will come and take her."
The Shaykh : This is the Shari'ah.
The questioner : We are with the Shari'ah.
The Shaykh : This is the Shari'ah.
The questioner : She is now in the house with his second wife, the first one, and they sleep in the same house for this long period. So he sees of her what he sees, and the Shari'ah: some of the Imams said that if he looks at her with desire, he may return to her, and perhaps he will take her back. And I have no desire for him to return to her, because as you said, he is acting foolishly. He swore to me by the Great Allah regarding her description and his love for her. She loves him, and he says, "I was not able to find in myself any love for her."
The Shaykh : Do you mean by your words that the man has only one room in his house?
The questioner : No, he is a man of means, but now...
The Shaykh : Answer my question, may Allah guide you.
The questioner : Because she is a second wife.
The Shaykh : Answer my question, may Allah guide you.
The questioner : One room.
The Shaykh : Answer my question, may Allah guide you.
The questioner : What should I say?
The Shaykh: There is no power nor strength except with Allah.
The Shaykh: Yes.
