Q:
I had a dispute with my wife whereupon I said to her, (Part No. 20; Page No. 252) "May Allah compensate you with another husband better than me."
Later, I took her back in marriage while she was still pregnant, and I received a Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar) enclosed with my letter supporting the permissibility of doing this, issued by Shaykh
Salih ibn `Abdullah ibn Furayj
but my father-in-law was not convinced. Bear in mind that this was the first time I say such words to my wife. I hope you will give me a Fatwa in this regard, so that my father-in-law will be reassured.
A:
If the reality is as you mentioned, that you divorced your wife while she was pregnant and then took her back before her giving birth, then this is considered as one pronouncement of Talaq (divorce pronounced by a husband). It is lawful to take your wife back in marriage as stated in the Fatwa enclosed with your question. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
