What
to say when taking back a wife (after having pronounced divorce
upon her)
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
What form (of statement) is made when one takes back his wife
(after having previously pronounced divorce upon her)?
Response:
(Any) word which is indicative of him taking her back is sufficient.
So
if he says:
"I
am taking my wife back", or:
"I
took my wife back", or:
"I
took a hold of my wife", or:
"I
took my wife back under my protection".
So
all of these words are indicative or the (same) meaning.
(And
if he were to say) that which is similar to these words, (in
the presence of) two upright witnesses, then this is best;
And he says to the two (witnesses):
"I
bear witness that I have taken back my wife" or:
"I took back my wife" or:
"I took a hold of my wife", or:
"I took my wife back under my protection" and similar
to these words.
