Is a father's command to his son to divorce his wife valid in this case?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The husband's father does not have the right to order him to divorce his wife due to past transgressions, as long as she has repented, because repentance erases what came before it. Therefore, obedience to the father in divorcing is not obligatory, and the husband may take his wife back if he divorces her, even if his father is displeased with that.
