Transcripts

from a sister and she says what are the

conditions

under which a wife can ask for a divorce

according to sharia

so

marriage is

a sacred

bond between a man and a woman

it's not between a man and a man and

definitely it's not between a woman and

a woman

this is a natural thing

it's a

religious thing in all religions

that it's between a man

and a woman

and this bond

is

tied with the name of allah

and according to the sharia

and therefore to dissolve it

that would be a heinous

crime

unless there's just a legitimate reason

and justification for that

and this is why

when harut and marut the angels

were sent to test

the people and they told them

do not learn from us

because if you learn from us

we teach you black magic and that would

take you out of the fold of islam we are

a test from allah don't learn from us

the devils learn from them as mentioned

in verse 102 chapter 2 surat al-baqarah

they learn from them what they separate

between a man and his woman

and this shows you how

bad black magic is to the extent that

allah mentioned

one of the negative consequences of it

is that it separates between a man and

his wife

therefore the prophet said allah any

woman

who asks for divorce

without a legitimate reason would not

enter paradise

and that is a serious threat

so a woman cannot just

simply because she's on her menses

oh she doesn't feel good and she says i

don't want you

talligny divorce me

this is

not valid

and this is a heinous major sin

unless

there are

justifications legitimate reasons in

islam

what are they

in short

if there is harm on the woman

then she can ask for divorce

what kind of harm

real harm

if the man

is

a psycho

he refuses her to leave the house

he refuses

her to speak to anyone on the phone she

doesn't watch anything

halal

and she is unable to look at his face as

in hadith

where his wife

could not

look at him and she said

had i not feared allah

i would have spit it in his face

whenever i look at him because of his

ugliness

this is a legitimate reason if she feels

from herself that she's unable to

give him his rights whether in intimacy

or obedience

and that would make her a renegade

and would take her

out of the fold of being a

loyal obedient submissive wife

that

is a major sin so in order to avoid such

sin

she goes for divorce this is permissible

if he's impotent

or is unable to fulfill and satisfy her

in terms of intimacy if he does not

provide for her financially

and he is using her as a sugar daddy and

she is the one who works and provides

for the house

very legitimate reasons for divorce and

so on

but if she asks for divorce for no

reason

furniture every six months he

um i i just have doubts that he has

uh haram relationship no proof but it's
