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
not use the internet
and he is
keeping her as a prisoner of war
this is totally haram this is real harm
and she can ask for divorce if he
prevents her from seeing her parents and
relatives she can ask for divorce
if he is
having rage fits
and he has bad moral conduct
he's abusive his words are
really hurtful he always criticizes her
makes fun of her
looks and her cooking and abuses her and
curses her and swears at her
she can ask for divorce
if he is
really ugly
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
i don't like him he doesn't take me to
uh
coddazzler
every year he doesn't change the
furniture every six months he
um i i just have doubts that he has
uh haram relationship no proof but it's
just my gut feeling no this is totally
prohibited and so on
