Talaaq

Faskh

Q: My brother in laws daughter was married for the last 2 years. Her husband started ill treating her, demanding money from her parents and beating her. He also drinks and misbehaves. We tried to conceal him and send our daughter back twice. They started living separate for more than one year but again he started the same thing. Now his brother and parents are also involved in torturing her. We went to a local mufti saheb and asked for a fasak nikah. They have a saharia council. They tried calling the boy for reconcilation and they even sent the letters. They called him on the phone but he never attended and avoided to meet with them. After three attempts of sending letters, they called the girl and questioned her for the reason for asking for the divorce/fasak, and they pronounced their view and decided to issue the fasak nikah. The question is, other muftis are saying that this is not valid, because they do not accept these people as muftis. They are telling/forcing us to go to their known muftis for this purpose. If every mufti goes on telling that he does not recognise the other mufti then how can a normal Muslim live with this type of Islamic leaders. Please issue a fatwa for what is right or wrong.

Written talaaq

Q: Me and my husband spend almost nine days after marriage together but we didn't have any relations. After this he went back abroad and for two years we were in contact. My family asked for a divorce and I didn't want it. He wrote three times on a paper and sent it to my family who forwarded it to me. We both want reconciliation. Iddah period is over. I heard divorce at one time is one divorce. Can we do nikah again?

Doubts about divorce

Q: I have so many issues in my life and thats why I am messaging you again and again. This is my lifes biggest problem, please give me a reply and ease my mind with the will of Allah Pak. I have waswasa in my mind. Actually me and my husband dont know that "go to hell", "leave home" also counts as a divorce. I always used to say give me a divorce whenever we fight, may Allah pak forgive me, so when I say give me divorce he always says "go to hell", "go" etc. After that when I got to know that these words also count as talaq e bain if a man's intention was divorcing his wife then I asked my husband he said Allah know my intention was never for divorce, I just said go to hell in anger nothing else, but after that I am thinking 24 hours that he is not my husband anymore. My life becomes hell because of these waswasas, what should I do? Once I said leave me and he said just to make me realize, 'I give you Tan' he did not used the word talaq or divorce he just said 'tan' then he said how could you ask for divorce even you know it is so bad. Please tell me what can I do? 

Faskh

Q: Me and my husband were living in U.K. I got divorced from him because of continuous arguments through the court of Pakistan. The court sent him a letter to inform him about the case and he received it but didn't hire any solicitor there. I got divorced from him after a few months but he never signed any letter neither said that he is giving me divorce. After two weeks of getting the divorce I got married with another person and I had nikah with him only for a month and I got divorced from him as well. Now I'm back in U.K and my first husband is claiming that I'm still his wife because he never divorced me and I asked through court but with false allegations that's why my second nikah and divorce doesn't count but actually considered as zina. Please clarify this issue I'm so confused.

Ambiguous word of talaaq

Q: My husband and I have had a lot of issues for the last 3 years. He gave me two proper talaq in November by saying, I divorce you. Then he reconciled. Again we had some differences and he said a couple of times that "tum meri taraf sey farigh ho". He also sent me two messages saying "you are free from my side and I am not interested in this relationship anymore". He messaged me that this was the last message from him. He then left the house and has been away for a month. Now he's saying that talaq hasn't taken place and I should apply for khula if I intend separation as he had no intention of leaving me despite all his messages and words. Where do I stand?
