The issues of Bid'i divorce (innovated divorce) and retracting a conditional divorce are matters of scholarly disagreement. If a student of knowledge finds the opinion that Bid'i divorce does not occur and that it is permissible to retract a conditional divorce to be stronger based on the evidence, then he may adopt it. Similarly, an ordinary person may follow the of someone he trusts, in accordance with Allah's saying: "So ask the people of the message if you do not know." (An-Nahl: 43). However, no one is permitted to adopt any of these opinions merely out of personal desire or to seek out concessions.
