Q162 :Divorce: Islamic limits and regulations
A162 : The Islamic Shari’ah has placed a number of
obstacles in the ways of divorce in order to confine it within the
narrowest possible netpass. Divorce without lawful necessity and
without first exhausting all the other means mentioned earlier of
resolving the conflict is unlawful and is prohibited in Islam. Some
jurists maintain, it is injurious to both husband and wife,
unnecessarily damaging the interests of the two, which, like the
wasting of property is haram. “Do not harm yourself or others,” the
Prophet has instructed us. People who divorce their spouses and marry
others in order to enjoy a variety of sexual partners are liked neither
by Allah nor by His Messenger. The Prophet called them “the tasters,”
saying: “I do not like the tasters, men and women,” and “Allah does not
like the tasters, men and women.” Abdullah bin Abbas said, “Divorce is
(only) in the case of necessity.”
