Talaaq

Husband asking the wife to leave

Q: My sister has been in an emotionally and verbally abusive relationship for the past 7 years. Her husband recently asked her to leave and wants nothing to do with her. She left with her 3 children. Now he refuses to give her talaq out of spite and wanting to maintain control of her. Does the fact that he asked her to leave constitute a valid talaaq?

Being forced to issue talaaq

Q: This is with regards to talaaq. Me and my wife have been living separate for a few months due to some family issues. For the past three months I have been given mental torture and pressure from both families to issue a talaaq which I have been totally against. This has lead to physical violence on my self (beaten up by family members). I was put inside a room and was told to issue a talaaq from my family which again I refused. I tried to walk out of the room but was dragged back and told not to move. I feared for myself as I knew if I don't say the 3 T's then I would endure serious physical harm to my self. In the end I didn't know what I was saying but had to issue the 3 T's in order for myself to be safe and secure. Since issuing the 3 T's, I had no intention of doing this but I was in no frame of mind in that room. I didn't know what was happening and feared for my own safety. Is this talaaq valid? Please can you help me?

Three talaaqs in anger

Q: My husband in an extreme anger pronounced three words talaq, talaq, talaq on the phone. When he cooled down he returned home he behaved normal and didn't even know what words he uttered. He was reminded by people who was surrounded by him at that time. But he didn't know. He said I don't know what I said and what I did. My question is that in that case if a man becomes insane and he doesn't know what is he doing, is divorce valid or not?

Halaala

Q: I am from South Africa. I am A Hanafi. I was married to a Hanafi girl from India. We were married for 3 years. We were happy living together since her dad came to live with us from India. He lived with us and I had my own flat. But my Marriage ended because the father interfered and jadoo was done. I out of anger gave her six talaaqs in one sitting in front of witnesses. After I gave the talaaq, I realized what I have done. I gave the girl R10 000 for her iddat concession. She went back to India to spend the iddat and her dad is still here in SA. I Spoke to her mother, aunty, cousin, brother and sister about getting back together. They all accept and the girl also is willing to get back together. So my my question to you is? Is Halaala allowed in Islam? And obviously planned halaala is haraam, but if the girl verbally tells the man she is marrying would that be accepted? My marriage was arranged and Allah blessed us with mohabbet. It is hard to forget her and I really do love her. I ask Allah every day to forgive me for the great sin that I have done by divorcing her. We do not have any kids. I really want to get back with her. Please give me a break down on what is allowed in Shari'ah and what is not allowed. Because I fear Allah and do not want to commit a sin or live for the rest of my life with sin.

Conditional divorce

Q: Is there any clear proof in Quran and Sunnah for conditional divorce and what to do if someone issued a conditional divorce in past. For example; if someone said to his wife that if you done before 33 years that work; etc then you will be divorced and if not then you are not?

Husband denying issuing three talaaqs

Q: My husband has divorced me many times in breaks of months in private only in fulll words two times and once ke tujhe talaaq pe talaaq. Third time he said ke jaa tujhe teesri talaq. But he didn't have any knowledge at that time that through uttering in such a way, talaaq happens and he had no intentions also. Now he is denying every talaaq and saying that I just gave once talaq and all muftis here in India are taking his side saying that aadmi ki gawai maani jayenge if I don't have any proof and witness. He is ready to take Quran oath and do Tajdeed-e-nikaah with me. What should I do as I am really confused because some are saying that he is still your husband and some are saying that your talaaq is valid and you take khula from him. What is the real Islamic way if the husband gives talaaq and later denies it by lying? If I go with him, will I be committing zina? Please help me. Is my talaaq valid? What should I do?

Suspending the talaaq

Q: Will the talaaq take place if my husband suspends the talaaq upon any action that he does. For example, he says "If I watch porn, then my wife is divorced". Then, in the future, if he does watch any porn, will the talaaq take place? Similarly, what is the Shar'ee ruling if my husband suspends the talaaq upon any action that I do? For example, he says "If you go to your friends house, you will be divorced". If I then at any time in the future go to my friends house, will the talaaq take place?
