This third part of the marriage chapter (nikah) gathers the rulings connected with the end of the marital bond and its consequences: the lawfulness of divorce (talaq), taking the wife back during the waiting period (raj'a), the ila' (oath of abstinence), zihar (the statement of likening), the mutual imprecation (li'an), the waiting period ('idda) and the custody of children (hadanah). Each ruling is founded on the Quran, the Sunnah, consensus and rational argument, together with the positions of the four schools, the grading of the hadiths and the references of the classical works.
