Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-35193"

Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard Ibn Shihab say that if a man said to his wife; You are free of me; and I am free of you; it counted as three pronouncements of divorce as if it were an irrevocable divorce. Malik said that if a man made any strong statement such as these to his wife; it counted as three pronouncements of divorce for a woman whose marriage had been consummated; or it was written as one of three for a woman whose marriage had not been consummated; whichever the man wished. If he said he intended only one divorce he swore to it and he became one of the suitors because; whereas a woman whose marriage had been consummated was made inaccessible by three pronouncements of divorce; the woman whose marriage had not been consummated was made inaccessible by only one pronouncement. Malik said; That is the best of what I have heard.
