A Common Problem I Notice Alot Lately.....

[umm Zachariah]

Assalamu aleikum sister,


Insha'Allah you will find it in Arabic. Maybe it is easier to understand.


Is the Fatwa about the three months waiting period Iddah? I don't quite get it.


Let me put it this way. There is another situation when the husband divorces his wife by Halalah by saying/divorcing her trice and if they THEN want to remarry she has to marry (of love, necessity not valid according to hadith) another man before that? Is the situation described in this Fatwa another one - they are still married 'on the paper' but not consumating marriage?


The second point is not any easier. The first one sounds understandable that when the waiting period is over - its over. I don't understand the other one that if the period is over everything goes back to 'normal'. Is this the situation even if the husband is still a non-Muslim? To me that sounds like making zina.


Allah o alem sister, this one is tricky. And I must tell you that Shari'ah is not one of my strong sides


Insha'Allah I will look through my book on Shari'ah and see if I can find anything that relate to this.


Sorry sister for not being of any help


Wasalam
