بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم
By Shaykh, the ‘Allaamah, the Sincere Advisor, Abu ‘Abdirrahman Yahya bin ‘Ali Al-Hajoori – may Allaah preserve him
With what does a woman become a “Firaash”
The scholars have three statements:
- Merely by the marital contract and this is falsehood.
- The marital contract while there could have been a possibility of meeting.
- At certain consummation of the marriage and this is what Shaykh-Ul-Islam and Ibn ul-Qayyim, may Allaah mercy on them, saw to be most correct.
Shaykh may Allaah preserve him said:
“A woman is not called Firaash except after the consummation of marriage not merely by marital contract, this is the correct opinion.”
Divorcing a woman before marrying her
The scholars have four statements:
The first: The statement that it counts upon its totality and it is the statement of Abee Hanifah.
The second: That it doesn’t count upon its totality and it is the statement of the majority.
The third: That there is detail in stipulating a specific woman from someone other than her( if I marry such a woman then she is divorced) and this is the statement of Maalik.
The fourth: Not taking a stance on the issue.
And the correct opinion is the statement of the majority and that it doesn’t count before the marital contract.
