Q: I recently was asked to speak to a young man who wanted his mother to divorce her second husband. Whilst there were many valid reasons put forward as to why this divorce should go through, one statement was made which I do not fully comprehend. The son mentioned that when a woman re-marries, she will be in Jannah with the last man she was married to. Is this correct? In this case the woman was widowed as her husband was shot and killed in a robbery. The woman , no doubt , still has a lot of love and feeling for her late husband. They seem to be concerned about her ending up with her first husband in Jannah and hence justify the divorce from the second husband.Please advise.
Secondly, what is the Islamic viewpoint regarding making conditions on a person before nikah? For example, the woman will not fulfill conjugal rights or the woman will stay closer to her family instead of her in laws. Please advise.
A:
1. Yes.
This reasoning is not justifiable. The condition for getting to Jannah is obedience and respect to the husband. If she obeys and respects the present husband then Allah will grant her Jannah and she will be given a choice to choose who she pleases in Jannah.
2. To make these types of conditions is not right.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
