The Term of old women and minor girls

 

The Term of old women and minor girls (L-3282)

وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُۥٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَٰلِغُ أَمْرِهِۦ قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدْرًا 3b  وَٱلَّٰٓـِٔى يَئِسْنَ مِنَ ٱلْمَحِيضِ مِن نِّسَآئِكُمْ إِنِ ٱرْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَٰثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَٱلَّٰٓـِٔى لَمْ يَحِضْنَ وَأُو۟لَٰتُ ٱلْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ مِنْ أَمْرِهِۦ يُسْرًا 4

3b.  Wa  many  yatawakkal  'alAllaahi  fa-Huwa  husbuh.  ‘InnAllaaha  baaligu  ‘amrih.  Qad  ja-'alAllaahu  likulli  shay-'in  qadraa. 4.  Wallaaa-'ii  ya-'isna  minal-mahiizi  min-nisaaa-'ikum  ‘inir-tabtum  fa-'iddatu-hunna  salaa-satu  ‘ashhu-rinw- wallaaa-'ii  lam  yahizn.  Wa  ‘ulaatul-‘ahmaali  ‘ajalu-hunna  ‘any-yaza'-na  hamlahunn.  Wa  many-yattaQillaaha  yaj-'al-lahuu   min  ‘amrihii  yusraa.

3b.  And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him. Lo! Allah brings His command to pass. Allah has set a measure for all things. 4. And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if you doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months, along with those who have it not. And for those with child, their period shall be till they bring forth their burden. And whosoever keeps his duty to Allah, He makes his course easy for him.

It was commanded earlier: Allaah Almighty makes the difficulties ease of those who avoid wrong deeds due to fear of Allaah Almighty, and provides for them from (a quarter) whence they have no expectation.

In this verse, it is commanded: The obedient of Allaah Almighty, who consider that only He fulfills their requirements, and who rely upon Him in their every matter, He is sufficient for them. Indeed, Allaah will accomplish His purpose. He has already set for everything a decreed extent. Therefore your requirement can be fulfilled immediately or it can be delayed.

After that it is commanded concerning the divorce: Counting of the waiting period after divorce is with effect from the menses. But those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, which is also for those who have not menstruated so far. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth, sooner or later. Whoever fears Allaah - He will make ease for him of his matter.

Reconciliation after divorce

 

Reconciliation after divorce (L-3281)

فَإِذَا بَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَأَشْهِدُوا۟ ذَوَىْ عَدْلٍ مِّنكُمْ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلشَّهَٰدَةَ لِلَّهِ ذَٰلِكُمْ يُوعَظُ بِهِۦ مَن كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ مَخْرَجًا 2  وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ 3a

2.  Fa-‘izaa  balagna  ‘ajala-hunna  fa-‘amsikuu-hunna  bi-ma'-ruufin  ‘aw  faariquu-hunna  bi-ma'-ruufinw-wa  ‘ash-hiduu  zaway  'adlim-minkum  wa  ‘aqiimush-shahaadata  Lillaah.  Zaalikum  yuu-'azu  bihii  man-  kaana  yu'-minu  Billaahi  wal-Yawmil-‘Aakhir.  Wa  many-yattaQillaaha  yaj-'al-lahuu  makhrajaa. 3a.  Wa  yarzuq-hu  min  haysu  laa  yahtasib.

2. Then, when they have reached their term, take them back in kindness or part from them in kindness, and call to witness two just men among you, and keep your testimony upright for Allah. Whoso believes in Allah and the Last Day is exhorted to act thus. And whosoever keeps his duty to Allah, Allah will appoint a way out for him, 3a. And will provide for him from (a quarter) whence he has no expectation.

In this verse, the same Commandment has been explained, summary of which has passed in the previous lesson, that is to say, whosoever divorces his wife one or two times (in the period of which he can reconcile), and its waiting period reaches near to go to an end, then it depends on him, he can either retain his wife according to acceptable terms and they can live as husband and wife or leave her after passing of the terms. Then they will remain no more husband and wife. But in both forms, they both should care according to humanity and nobility. If you desire to retain your wife, you must not retain her for increasing the waiting period of the terms and molesting the woman violently. You must never taunt her whether you desire to retain or leave her. And you must bring to witness two just men from among you so that you may be saved from any slander etc. And you must establish the testimony for the acceptance of Allaah, if you are said to do so, and consider that you are going to obey your Lord.

That will reap advantage from these instructions; who believes in Allaah Almighty and the Last Day, otherwise before Islam the women were misbehaved in various forms of marriage and divorce etc. Belief in Allaah Almighty and the Day of Resurrection can prevent the mankind from injustice and transgression. This is the elixir by which every mankind can get rid of every problem. Don’t fear difficulties in the obedience of Allaah Almighty. He will arrange to save you from misfortunes. Whoever fears Allaah - He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect.

How to divorce (b)

 

How to divorce (b) (L-3280)

Chapter “’AT-TALAAQ” – (Divorce) - 65 

 (Continued from the last)

The husband must not expel his wife out of his house after divorcing. However if she commits a clear immorality then there is no restriction. The women themselves too should not go out of the houses. The divorce must be given in intervals according to rule.

Divorce your wife at first during purity as it has been described earlier. You can return to your wife before ending of one month or after passing of the menses period. If you desire to leave your wife then you must divorce her second time. Even after the second divorce, before ending of the next month or after next monthly menses, you are authorized to incline to your wife. But if that period also has passed and you have divorced her third time, then she has gone out of your nuptial. Then you cannot return to her. It has been explained in Chapter Two (Suratul-Baqarah).

After that it is commanded: Allaah Almighty has set limits of every work for you. Do whatever you desire to do but in the prescribed limits. The person, who does not care and transgresses the limits of Allaah; has certainly wronged himself. You are being taught the way of divorcing in intervals, so that it may happen that you change your opinion, husband and wife may avail a chance of reconciliation within three months. After three months or menses tenures, this facility is over.

Usually the people use the word “Divorce” without thinking and then they are entangled in confusion and distraction. Only the expounders of Islamic Law can judge such matters that what must be done. Even then every individual must have some information about the “Divorce”. Therefore, main hints have been described here, which are according to Hanfii Sect. As soon as the husband says, “I divorced”, it happened, whether he said for laughing, carelessly or ignorantly. So everyone must be very careful in this matter. Think before you speak! Up to two divorces, husband and wife can reconcile, but after third divorce the wife has become unlawful, until she marries someone else; he divorces or dies, then she can wed the first husband again. If the husband divorced one time, but entire waiting period passed, then she has been divorced permanently. During the waiting period, it is responsibility of the husband that he should provide her all required things including food.

How to divorce (a) (L-3279)

Chapter “’AT-TALAAQ” – (Divorce) - 65

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحْصُوا۟ ٱلْعِدَّةَ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ لَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنۢ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ إِلَّآ أَن يَأْتِينَ بِفَٰحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ وَمَن يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُۥ لَا تَدْرِى لَعَلَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ أَمْرًا 1

1.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhan-Nabiyyu  ‘izaa  tallaq-tummun-nisaaa-'a  fa-talliquu-hunna  li-'iddati-hinna  wa  ‘ahsul-'iddah.  WattaqUllaaha  Rabbakum.  Laa tukhri-juuhunna  mim- bu-yuutihinna  wa  laa  yakhrujna  ‘illaaa  ‘any-ya'-tiina  bi-faahishatim-mu-bayyinah.  Wa  tilka  HuduudUllaah.  Wa  many- yata-'adda  HuduudAllaahi  faqad  zalama  nafsah.  Laa  tadrii  la-'allAllaaha  yuhdisu  ba'-da  zaalika  ‘amraa.

1. O Prophet! When you (men) put away women, put them away for their (legal) period and reckon the period, and keep your duty to Allah, your Lord. Expel them not from their houses nor let them go forth unless they commit open immorality. Such are the limits (imposed by) Allah; and whoso transgresses Allah's limits, he verily wrongs his soul. You know not: it may be that Allah will afterward bring some new thing to pass.

After permission of divorcing the woman according to Religious Law, the people began to put the women away thoughtlessly as and when they wished. It became reason that the women were hurt and sometimes the husband himself had to regret. Therefore in this Chapter, the same matter has been explained. It turned out that one should divorce his wife when he considers dire need and he feels that there is no other way of salvation.

It is commanded: When you divorce women, divorce them for the commencement of their waiting period and keep count of the waiting period. Although the divorce will immediately be commenced as and when you will divorce, but Allaah Almighty does not desire to put anyone of you in trouble. Therefore you must divorce during those days when you can meet your wife for sexual intercourse but you do not commit, so that their waiting period may be counted without increase or decrease of the days. Every work must be done; fearing Allaah Almighty. (Continued)

Introduction of the Chapter “Divorce”

 

Introduction - “Divorce” (L-3278)

Chapter “’AT-TALAAQ” – (Divorce) - 65

According to order, this is sixty-fifth Chapter of Holy Qur’an, which was revealed in Madinah during 6^th year AH. It has two Sections. Chapter Two (Suratul-Baqarah) was revealed before this Chapter, in which commandments concerning the divorce were described. In this Chapter, suitable time and occasions of divorce have been explained, so that husband’s authority of divorcing may not be used for provoking and molesting the wife. Divorcing is not good. It should neither be used for punishing and nor be taken as a play.

Therefore it has been described: When you put your wife away, put her away for her legal period so that the waiting period may be reckoned without decreasing or increasing of the days. The both (husband and wife) must keep in mind carefully the days of the term (during the term of probation incumbent upon her in consequence of a dissolution of marriage either by divorce or by the death of her husband, after divorce the period is 3 months, and after death of her husband is 4 months and 10 days), so that there may not be any error in counting of the days and for escaping from any bad conclusion. So the best time of divorcing is after purity (from menses) when the husband has not committed sexual intercourse with his wife so far, because waiting period of the term is three menstruations. If husband divorces during the period of menses, that menstruation period will not be counted, but next three time’s menstruations will be counted and the waiting period will become long. And if he has touched his wife during the purity period, then it will not be possible to know that the term will be finished after three times menstruation or after the pregnancy, because there is possibility of pregnancy.

Secondly, you must not expel your wife from her house immediately after divorcing. Moreover, the woman too must not leave her house during waiting period. However if she commits open immorality or you are feeling trouble every time due to quarrels, then she can be expelled.

Thirdly, it is understood that all three divorces must not be given at a time, but in every month there must be only one divorce, so that they may have chance of reconciliation. Think before ending of the entire term, whether you will retain her or leave. You must not put her in trouble in any condition. Such are the limits imposed by Allaah Almighty, and you must fear Him. In this form He will help you.

After that, there are instructions about the pregnant divorced and minor girls. Let them breastfeed to the baby after giving birth if you desire, and pay them suitable substitution of giving suck. If you may not content her to give suck, then you must arrange for any other breastfeeding woman. You must provide facilities to the women during the term.

Then it is commanded: Abide by the Religious Laws of Islam and accomplish the rights of the women, otherwise you can be punished also due to transgression of Allaah's limits, as the disobedient before you were punished. Rules and Regulations of Islam have been explained by Holy Qur’an and the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), so that you may come out from the darkness of ignorance; in the light of knowledge. Reward of this obedience will be Paradise for you. Know the Creator of the entire universe and obey Him.

Promise of God

 

Promise of God (L-3277)

إِن تُقْرِضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا يُضَٰعِفْهُ لَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ شَكُورٌ حَلِيمٌ 17  عَٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ 18

17.  ‘In  tuqrizUllaaha  Qarzan  Hasanany-yuzaa-‘ifhu lakum  wa  yag-fir  lakum.  Wallaahu  Shakuurun  Haliim. 18.  'Aalimul-Ghaybi  wash-Shahaadatil-'Aziizul-Hakiim. (Section 2/16)

17. If you lend unto Allah a goodly loan, He will double it for you and will forgive you, for Allah is Responsive, Clement, 18. Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, the Mighty, the Wise.

                                    

It is commanded: Spending wealth in the Way of Allaah Almighty according to His Commandment will never be useless. If you will fulfill the requirements of those who really are necessitous; and will spend generously for public welfare, and your aim will be to please Allaah Almighty, then understand it as you have been lending to Him and you will never be among the losers due to such spending. For attaining the pleasure of Allaah Almighty, which money will you spend; He will multiply it for you and forgive your sins and errors. Allaah is Most Appreciative and Forbearing. He does not punish immediately to the sinners but reprieves, so that they should repent due to their errors. He forgives them who repent wholeheartedly. He is the Knower of your apparent works and hidden intentions. He gives suitable reward of belief and righteous works, but punishes properly to the disbelievers and wrongdoers.

It has been described in this Chapter: It is apparent from the condition of everything that those are entirely under the control of Allaah Almighty, Who is Free from all kinds of defects or faults. He has bestowed the best form and countenance to the mankind, is Aware of every mankind’s every work and every thought. Even then most of the people do not believe in Him, but disobey His Commands. Bear in mind! Allaah Almighty will bring all of you back to life again after death and every individual will be dealt with according to personal deeds – reward or punishment. Righteous people will go to the Paradise, but the abode of the wrongdoers will be the Hell. You must never be careless from Allaah Almighty due to being involved in the love of wealth, wives or children. Educate and train your children properly, and spend your wealth for the pleasure of Allaah Almighty. You will have its best result.
