Title: divorce

Question: My husband is giving me a divorce because he said he no longer can live with me. Does that mean he can take all the gifts he gave me during/and after the wedding back. Who's properties are those gifts which he had gifted me. Is my husband supposed to give me my gifts back, or will I have no right on that Islamically?

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1587/1009/L=1433) If all the gifts which your husband has given you were as hiba (gift) then you are the owner of those gifts. It shall not be right for your husband to take back all those gifts. Yes, if your husband borrowed you something then he shall have right to take it back.

Q. Dear Mufti Sahab, I am mentioning consequences first and then asking few questions as given below. Detail of the affair, as given below: - I had a fight with my wife, within first month of our nikah, till then she didn?t have menses. Which upsets me a lot. She was shouting, and was asking TALAQ from me. I was already in serious depression, because of that fight and was thinking of "Is this, for what I married to this woman". I was deeply upset and in depression at that time. My wife kept asking me to give her TALAQ and leave her, numerous times during that fight. She kept yelling at me, to put pressure on me. Due to which I thought or I may say, that I decided to give her "3-TALAQ at once", so that I will not be able to return to her, even if I wish to. I wanted to make her feel the same pain I was feeling that time, after giving her TALAQ. So, that she will be able to return to me or stay with me as a wife, or through giving her shelter in my home and keep her with me and fulfilling her all financial needs, but not touching her at all. But, when I said to her that "I am giving you 3(three) TALAQ at once, so that from now on, you will become haram for me and I could not return to you, neither take your duties as a wife, from this TALAQ you will be an independent woman and can marry any other man, to whom you like". She immediately got shocked and started crying and telling that she didn't wanted TALAQ. Instead she was expecting some nice words and supportive behaviour from me. Then, I thought of "what I had done?? but in heart I didn't want to get her back in nikah, even if, it is allowed. So that she has to feel the pain of not getting love, attention, understanding and care of the husband, while living under the same roof. But, the host, in whose home we were staying, told us that it was not TALAQ and TALAQ could not happen in this way. Specially in feeling of aggression, depression or anything, when mind is not in normal state or when man's saying or behaviour are different from his regular and normal Mood / behaviour. Which seems logical to me. Due to which, I returned to my wife and made sexual contact with her on the same night. And after that day I kept normal physical relation with her. Through which she become pregnant & now she has 6 months of pregnancy. Questions:- 1. Please guide me; do I really gave her TALAQ and will it happened ? 2. Are we still in NIKAH ? Do I permissible to keep normal marital (physical / sexual) relation with my wife ? 3. What if, after that day of the fight giving her TALAQ, I returned to her and kept normal marital (physical / sexual) relations with my wife. Due to which she became pregnant and having pregnancy of 6 (six) months ? 4. What about our soon to born child ? What ALLAH and his prophet SAW says about him ? What is mentioned in the Shariah about the child born due to and under such circumstances ? 5. Due to above act, will ALLAH punish us ? Then what will be his punishment ? How could we both repent to ALLAH for our sin, if it is. So that he forgive us for our ignorance. What ALLAH and his prophet SAW says in QURAN and HADITH ? 6. What will be the rules in Shariah, please answer with full and complete references of QURAN and HADITHS ? 7. Please, Give full and complete references of Quran and Hadiths of all your answers. So, that it will be possible to cross ? check all references you will be giving in this respect. Please publish reply of the above both on your website, so that everybody can see and be clear on such an important and common matter. And also send a reply through email. 3847 views

Q. know that giving or demanding divorce is a big sin. I have unintentionally signed divorce papers without knowing that divorce will take place even if I signed the divorce papers. When I came to know this I was shocked & depressed as I never intended to divorce my wife because I love her alot. I requested her to come back to my life as it was talaq-e-bain. But she refused thinking it was intentional divorce. My question is : Pleaes let me know if the sin of divorce is me or on my wife? Becuaes I was honest, as Allah knows, when I requested her to come back & I heard if she refuse to come back then the sin of divorce will be on her. 1769 views
Q. Assalamu alaikum, Dear Janab Mufti Sahib, I have left my wife on 31st May 2008 to her parent?s house when I came to know from doctor that she was conceived to take rest for two months. After that I called her for which her mother intervened and refused to send her. Because of her mother?s attitude towards me I stopped going to my in laws home. There was no contact between myself and my spouse from July 08 to September 08. During November 2008 my spouse called me over phone and asked for my blood group and I informed her the same. After that there were contacts over phone between me and my spouse till the date of delivery. After delivery I went to see my spouse and new born baby in Hospital. At hospital, her mother again intervened between us and there were heated arguments between me and her mother. After three months of delivery, I sent a letter to my spouse thro? post to come back to my home for which my spouse replied me thro? post ? that she thought of coming back after three months but your letter reached me prior to one day of three months time. (For your information the letter was written in Tamil though I know that my spouse cant write or read tamil) ?. Saying this she made a full stop without informing that whether she wants to come or not. Then I called her relatives (in Bangalore) to come and solve our problem. During the talks, there were heated arguments between my parents and her parents and the talks were failed. Then last Sunday, I called my spouse over phone then suggested her to come to a third parties place where we can sit and solve our differences for which she initially accepted and told me that after her father has gone for Jamaat and he will be returning tonight. Once her comes she will get permission and come on Monday. On Monday morning I called her over phone, she replied after asking her parents bit by bit over phone that I have to come to her parents? house to have any discussion on this, and she refused to come with me. Finally she told me that her relatives who are in Bangalore have to come and we will have an agreement on this after which she will be coming back to my house. In a fit of anger, I sent an SMS with these words ? Aaj ke din main tera aur mera rishta ku qatam karta hoon ye teen lafz se ? Talaq Talaq Talaq ?. Please convey me whether this talaq is valid, in my case I never had any quarrel with my wife nor wife has any dispute over me. The only dispute was with my self and her parents. Please let me know at your earliest. 2240 views
Q. My wife calls me beta and mera baccha some times. What is the ruling in shariya for this? What I heard is calling one's husband beta or mera baccha is wrong and one has to pay kaffara for that. The same thing holds good for the husband too, if he calls his wife amma. 9090 views

Q. I am an Indian Muslim residing in Kerala State now working in saudi Arabia. I am writing this letter for my younger sister who married on April 15 2007 in Masjid as per Hanafee school of thought. He is working in Dubai and was on vacation during the time of marriage. Now her life is fully in trouble. Actually that marriage itself was a great mistake. She didn?t live with her husband and family even for two months. That man is a saddist ,he and his parents tortured my sister and finally on June 2nd week they beated her like anything, and she told us everything and we took her to our house. Then some discussions in family level has been done and my sister categorically told us that she can?t live anymore with her husband. Then I contacted her hus. And he agreed for a mutual divorce through mahallu committee. But the next day without informing any of us he left to Dubai (Now he is in Dubai) After that he never called my sister or he even not send any money to her. My sister informed that she never wants to continue a life with that man. Her all ornaments and money are in the custody of her in laws. There is only my mother and herself only in my home at Kerala. In August 3rd we submitted an application to our Mahallu committee for a divorce. They send our application to her husband?s Mahallu committee and there is no response so far. Also then her husband phoned her and threatened that he will never divorce her and also he will do another marriage and will hurt my sister like anything. Then in consultation with our Mahallu committee my sister filed a case before the family court on 22nd August 2007, for getting back her ornaments and money from her husband?s in laws custody.(She has not filed any case for divorce before the court). Now the Mahallu committee informed us that, she can do Fasah, the procedure is she has to give an advertisement in the local news paper saying that her husband is not looking after her, and if he is not contacting her in another 20 days, she don?t want to have a relationship. Then this advertisement and another letter will be send to her husband?s mahallu committee and then the marriage will be divorced. Would you please advice me about the legal validity of this procedure as per Sahria and laws in India. After doing this can she re marry? Or if she wants to do Khula what is the procedure in India. I think its very difficult to get a divorce through court since her husband is not in India and it seems he is Absconding and living in Dubai, Insha Allah I hope you will answer to all my queries and help me to overcome the present dilemma and to get a good future for my sister 3040 views
