Should one avoid reading or listening to verses about divorce, or keeping books and fatwas about divorce in the presence of one's wife, for fear of divorce occurring?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no impediment to reciting verses of divorce in the presence of the wife, or letting her hear tapes, fatwas, or books related to divorce, or her reading something of the sort. All of this is not considered a cause for divorce to occur, as divorce only takes effect if the husband intends to initiate it with an explicit statement or an implicit one accompanied by intention.
