Miscellaneous Benefits from Muntaqaa Ibn Al-Jarood may Allaah have mercy on him

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.
