Divorce and Waiting Period

🌙SAHIH DEEN صحيح دين🌙

Divorce and Waiting Period
Post 004

⏬Divorce Only as a Last Resort⏬

The Qur’an teaches us that even if a husband does not like his wife, he should try and be accommodating – Allah Ta’ala states:

ا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَن تَرِثُواْ النِّسَاء كَرْهاً وَلاَ تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُواْ بِبَعْضِ مَا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ إِلاَّ أَن يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍ وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ فَإِن كَرِهْتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسَى أَن تَكْرَهُواْ شَيْئاً وَيَجْعَلَ اللّهُ فِيهِ خَيْراً كَثِيراً

“O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality. And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good.”
(Surah An Nisa - 19)

Hazrat Muharib states that RasoolAllah said, “Of all the things permitted by Allah Ta’ala, divorce is the most hated thing in the Sight of Allah Ta’ala.”
(Sunan Abu Dawood: Vol 1, Page 296)

Hazrat Ibne Umar narrates that RasoolAllah said, “Of all permissible things the most hated by Allah Ta’ala is divorce.”
(Sunan Abu Dawood: Vol 1, Page 296)

In light of this guidance from the Qur’an and Sunnah it is essential for a husband to try everything possible in order to avoid divorce. If it is impossible then he should give one reversible divorce because that will give them three months (time of Iddat) to reconsider otherwise after the waiting (Iddat) period they will be separated. Nowadays, people think that divorce can only be given three times so they themselves either give divorce three times or write three divorces in front of a lawyer or commissioner of oaths (Three divorces makes the divorce final and non-reversible). When they realise that they have given three divorces and that the marriage is now over they panic and come running to Scholars (Muftis) and ask for the method to reverse the divorce. They even become willing to carry out the (incorrect) form of Halalah even though this form of Halalah has been cursed by RasoolAllah. However, in order to try and save their children from misery and save themselves from other evils, both parties are willing to reconcile at any cost.
