Question
Salaam,
I have a query a couple had their Nikaah done over 10 years but after 2 years they were divorced however, in those 2 years there was no physical relationship they did not consummate.
Is it possible for them to get married again? without the female having to go through the Halalah process?
Please confirm.
Thanks.
Kind Regards
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle, a couple can reunite and remarry each other if the husband had issued one or two divorces. If only two divorces were issued, then the couple can renew their nikaah and get married again.
However, if the husband had issued three divorces, then that will constitute a Talaaq-e-Mughallazah, and the woman will have to go through the Halalah process before remarrying the ex-husband.
