Book of Divorce

395 — They unanimously agree that a Sunnah-compliant divorce is to pronounce a single repudiation while the woman is in a state of purity(1) before her waiting period begins.

396 — They unanimously agree that if a man issues one divorce to his wife when she is pure following a menstrual cycle in which he had not previously divorced her(2) and he has not had intercourse with her during that period of purity, he has acted in accordance with the Sunnah.

397 — They unanimously agree that the husband retains the right to take back a consummated wife so long as her waiting period has not elapsed; once it has elapsed he is merely one of her suitors.

398 — They unanimously agree that if a man divorces a wife with whom the marriage has not been consummated, even by a single pronouncement, she is immediately separated from him, is not lawful for him again except through a new marriage contract, and no waiting period is due from her.

399 — They unanimously agree that if a man declares more than three divorces upon his wife, three of them are sufficient to make her unlawful for him.

400 — They unanimously agree that when a non-Arabic speaker pronounces divorce in his own tongue intending divorce, the divorce is binding upon him.

401 — They unanimously agree that if a man has four wives, divorces one of them and does not wait for her waiting period to finish, then marries a fifth and dies before the waiting period of the divorced wife ends, one quarter of one-eighth of his estate goes to the latter of the two women.

402 — They unanimously agree that when a man divorces a consummated wife with a revocable divorce, whether he is healthy or ill(3), and she dies or he dies before her waiting period is over, they inherit from one another.

403 — They unanimously agree that if a healthy man divorces his wife three times, one divorce in each menstrual cycle, and then one of them dies, the survivor does not inherit from the deceased.

404 — They unanimously agree that the divorce of a man who is insane or mentally incompetent is invalid.

405 — They unanimously agree that if a man pronounces divorce while asleep, no divorce takes effect.

406 — They unanimously agree that a divorce uttered in earnest and a divorce uttered in jest are treated alike.

كتاب الطلاق ٣٩٥ - وأجمعوا على أن الطلاق للسنة: أن يطلقها طاهرًا [في] (١) قُبُل عدتِها. ٣٩٦ - وأجمعوا على أن من طلَّق امرأته واحدة، وهي طاهر من حيضة لم يطلقها [قبلها] (٢)، ولم يكن جامعها في ذلك الطهر: أنه مصيب للسنة. ٣٩٧ - وأجمعوا على أن له الرجعة في المدخول بها ما لم تنقض العدة؛ فإذا انقضت العدة فهو خاطب من الخُطّاب. ٣٩٨ - وأجمعوا على أنه من طلَّق زوجته -ولم يدخل بِها- طلقة، أنَّها قد بانت منه، ولا تحل إلا بنكاح جديد، ولا عدة له عليها. ٣٩٩ - وأجمعوا أن من طلَّق زوجته أكثر من ثلاث أن ثلاثًا منها تحرمها عليه. ٤٠٠ - وأجمعوا على أن العجمي إذا طلَّق بلسانه، وأراد الطلاق، أن الطلاق لازمٌ له. ٤٠١ - وأجمعوا أن الرجل إذا كان عنده أربع نسوة فطلَّق واحدة ولم يلبثها، ثُمَّ تزوج خامسة ثُمَّ مات قبل التي طلَّق، أن ربع الثمن للآخرة منهما. ٤٠٢ - وأجمعوا على أن من طلَّق زوجته، مدخولاً بِها، طلاقًا يملك رجعتها، وهو صحيح أو مريض (٣) فماتت أو مات قبل أن تنقضي عدتُها؛ فإنهما يتوارثان. ٤٠٣ - وأجمعوا أن من طلَّق زوجته ثلاثًا، وهو صحيح، في كل قرء تطليقة، ثُمَّ مات أحدهما أن لا ميراث للحي منهما من الميت. ٤٠٤ - وأجمعوا على أن المجنون والمعتوه لا يَجوز طلاقه. ٤٠٥ - وأجمعوا على أن الرجل إذا طلَّق في حال نومه أن لا طلاق له. ٤٠٦ - وأجمعوا على أن جدَّ الطلاق وهزله سواء.
