Is it permissible to supplicate for the return of one's husband after divorce, or should divorce be considered divine decree and destiny and accepted as such?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in supplicating for a man's healing and for the two of you to be reunited in marriage once again, as there is no sin or transgression in such a supplication. Belief in divine decree () does not negate supplication (du'a), for du'a is a means to repel affliction and attract mercy, and it is itself part of Allah's decree. We advise you to strive diligently in supplicating that Allah grant you a righteous husband and to entrust the matter to Him, for Allah knows best what is good, and divorce is not evil in all circumstances.
