Is it permissible for a husband to voluntarily waive his right to divorce, making it contingent solely upon the Sharia judge?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a husband appoints someone else to divorce his wife, the agency is valid, because divorce is a right of the husband, and he may appoint whomever he wishes to carry it out. The agency is revoked if the husband has intercourse with his wife after the appointment.
