Dear Sir, according to your fatwa number 314359, some scholars held that divorce does not take effect by merely signing the divorce papers. As stated by the respected Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem Aal Ash-Shaykh as well as in some of your fatwas, I came to understand that if the husband gives a divorce on sms without the intention of divorce, then divorce..

Assalaamu alaykum. I have been married for 10 years and have three kids, praise be to Allah. I live in the West, away from my family. My husband is a good man, but like all human beings, he has a few weaknesses. I have been tolerant and patient with his ways, praise be to Allah. My question is regarding the fact that my husband does not give me the.. More
Does a man or woman who was gotten married many times have to inform the one they want to marry about how many times they were married in the past? For example, if a woman was married 8 times in the past, does she have to tell the man whom she wants to marry that she was married 8 times?

I have been suffering from a deep gambling addiction for around 15 years. Now I am in recovery, attending counselling sessions, etc. When I used to lose money, I would realize immediately afterwards that I should not gamble. I have said many things and have sworn in anger and frustration. I said many times that if I would gamble again, wy wife would.. More
What if a wife says to her husband that when her daughter was born, he did not talk with her for 15 days and that he was sad at that time, and the husband replied that he was not sad and that if he was sad at that time, she is divorced? And what if he did not realize what he said and also forgot about the complete situation of that time?

Assalaamu alaykum. I noticed some contradictions between your answers. You mentioned that the suitor should be informed of vitiligo while to other people you said that they do not need to inform their future wife about it. Why? I am not trying to bring you down. I like this website very much. You even brought a quote of Ibn Qayyim concerning vitiligo:.. More
Once, I was very depressed and was always very afraid about divorce taking place due to a threat of my husband. I suffered constant Waswaas (obsessive doubts) and feared going near my husband due to the suspicion that we might have been divorced although we were not and these were merely doubts. My husband, however, could not bear my situation. He wanted.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I need to ask a question; maybe you have heard of this problem before. My wife and I are not in a stable relationship. I constantly ask Allah to help, but our problems have gotten severe at times. One minute we are happy, but the next we fight and hate each other. This is due to my wife hating my family, and it has been three years.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I am writing to ask for a clarification about divorce. My husband and I were happily married, but he was quick to turn to anger in fights. One month into our marriage, during an argument, he said “I divorce you” in anger and without intent. He even forgot that he had said it almost right after. He did not verbally take me back,.. More
My wife wants to leave me for another man. We have two kids. I gave her the chance to end this, but she failed to do so. Shall I divorce her, or shall I go to that man and try to convince him not to poison our family life? I think that would be a long shot, but at least I would be satisfied. I have tried everything before reaching a final decision... More
Good day. I got married as a convert Muslim at the age of 21. They also married me without the presence of my parents. The man whom I married has a wife and three kids. He told me they were already separated, but I later learned that his first wife does not know everything because it is not true that they are separated. After all that happened, he went.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I am 23 years old, and I have varicocele on my left testis. I have read your fatwa which is related to it (varicocele). Part of your answer in the fatwa was that: Sterility (which might result from varicocele), even if confirmed, is not an hindrance to marriage. I have seen my doctor for it, and he said that there is no need for a.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. My wife and I did a mutual divorce by signing a paper titled “DEED OF MUTUAL DIVORCE AND SETTLEMENT” in which it is written that both the husband and wife mutually decided to annul their marriage with effect from June 22, 2016. On July 5, 2016, my uncle told me that this is not a valid divorce as per the Islamic Shariah because.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding divorce. A man said to his wife, "You are Taaliq." She told him, "I am having my menses." He said, "You are Taaliq after your menses." Is this considered one divorce or two? May Allah reward you.

Thank you, Shaykh, for replying to my question, no. 2659074. You said that it depends on his intention.
1) I think I could not state my question right. I know that my husband's intention is the matter, but I wanted to ask: what if he did not intend anything; neither of placing my hand a with piece of cloth in between my hand and the Quran, nor of.. More
