What is the ruling on a divorced sister going out with her ex-husband on the pretext that their daughter is sick, and is she sinful if she intends to return to him while he is unemployed?
What your sister is doing, going out with her ex-husband, is forbidden because he has become a stranger to her. Her claim that this is permissible is one of the greatest abominations, as it is speaking about Allah without knowledge. She must be prevented from doing so and informed of the impermissibility of (private seclusion) and going out with him. Her intention to return to him does not change the ruling.
If the divorce was the first or second, she may return to him with a new marriage contract if she agrees. His unemployment does not prevent her from marrying him. However, if this was the third divorce, she may not return to him until she marries another man in a marriage of desire, not tahlil (a marriage entered into solely to make a former husband permissible again).
