24 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is my divorce automatic if my husband has been unreachable for over a year?

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran What is the iddah after divorce and why does the Quran require it? The iddah is a waiting period of one to three cycles after a divorce which establishes whether the woman is pregnant and prevents suspicion and conflict, and during it she keeps the right to stay in the home. Mufti Abu Layth reads this as the opening of the passage the objector quotes from.

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran What does the Quran say about how a divorce should end and about a divorced woman's future? At the end of the iddah the couple must either reconcile or part with kindness before witnesses, and Mufti Abu Layth reads the promise that God makes a way out and provides from unexpected places as reassurance to the vulnerable party that she need not accept oppression for shelter. The objector, he says, skips all of this.
