📖 1 min readعن عمران بن حصين رضي الله عنهما أنه سُئِلَ عن الرجل يُطلِّق امرأته، ثم يَقَعُ بها، ولم يُشْهِدْ على طلاقها، ولا على رَجْعَتِهَا، فقال: "طَلَّقْتَ لِغَيْرِ سُنَّةٍ، وَرَاجَعْتَ لِغَيْرِ سُنَّةٍ، أَشْهِدْ على طلاقها، وعلى رَجْعَتِهَا، ولا تَعُدْ".
In this Hadīth, ‘Imrān ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about a man who divorced his wife and then had intercourse with her after he took her back in marriage, but without calling anybody to witness either divorce or reunion. ‘Imrān (may Allah be pleased with him) answered that such a husband has violated the Sunnah in both cases as he has not brought witnesses to the divorce or to the reunion. He ordered him to bring witnesses for the divorce and the reunion and to avoid doing so again.
