Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible for a wife to seek divorce without a legitimate Shari excuse, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Any woman who asks her husband for divorce without any strong reason, the scent of Paradise will be forbidden to her." The separation from the husband causes harms such as the loss of children and the severing of kinship ties. The wife should seek psychological treatment and attach herself to her husband to regain her former desire.
