Divorce in Islam

Divorce in Islam


There are 3 Types of Divorces in Islam

First type is Talaq E Bidat.

Talaq Talaq Talaq go at the same time


2nd Type is Talaq E Hasan.

Give Talaq and wait for 1 month and then give second and wait and then final 3rd one


3rd Type is Talaq E Ahsan which is best way as explained in Quran

(Surah Al Baqarah Ch 2 Verse 228)

When ever you give Divorce wait for three 3 months or three Menstrual cycles to complete Divorce duration

Unfortunately there is a conflict in umah but there is a Hadis by Hazrat Abbas (RA) (Sahih Muslim Vol 2 Hadis No 3491) says :

(That the pronouncement of three divorces during the life time of Allahs Messenger (PBUH) and that of Abubakar(R.A) and two year of Calaphate of Umar (R.A) was treated as one. But Omer (R.A) said: Verily people have begun to hasten in the matter in which they are required to respite.So if we had imposed this upon the, and he imposed it upon them.)


During Holy prophet (PBUH) life 3 Divorces were considered as one as explained in Quran which is three months process, even in Hazarat Abubakar's (RA) Life it remained same however in Umers Regimes first 2 years it remains the same and then Umer (R.A) after observing the situation , said if some one give Divorce 3 times it is considered as complete divorce.


But if you look in the light of Holy Quran (Surah Al Baqarah Verse 228 – 240) and
(Surah Talaq V 1-7)

Quran says whenever there is a difference of opinion between Husband and Wife, sit together and discuss and try to resolve the issue. If it doesn’t work Allah says in (Surah nisah V 35)

Then get one Arbiter from woman side and one Arbiter from Mans side and try to resolve it, if it don’t get resolved then give divorce
And the best way is to wait for three months if during these three months you (Husband and Wife) come together Alhamdullilah its ok, but if after three months you decide that you cannot stay together... they you are no more husband and wife


(Surah baqrah V 232)
(.... Reference from Dr Zakir Naik Speech.....)

Explained as If that Man (Husband) want to get married with his old Wife don’t stop him, if divorce is happen in the Ehsan Divorce way

He can have Nikah with his old wife with different Mehar. (but this thing can happen 3 times)


But unfortunately not all Muslims don’t adopt Ehsan Procedure of Divorce.
