Q: Someone
divorced his wife last year according to Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet), and now he wants to take her back in marriage. Is this permissible?
(Part No. 20; Page No. 234)
A:
If the Talaq (divorce pronounced by a husband) in question is not the third pronouncement and is not in return for a consideration, this is considered a revocable divorce. The husband is permitted to take his wife back in marriage as long as her `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after divorce) is not over. However, if the `Iddah is over, or the Talaq was in return for a consideration and was not the third pronouncement of Talaq, the husband may return to his wife with a new marriage contract and Mahr (mandatory gift to a bride from her groom) similar to that paid to women of the same social status subject to her consent and after fulfilling all the pillars and conditions of a marriage contract. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
