Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-35217"

Yahya related to me that Malik heard Ibn Shihab say; When a man gives his wife the right of choice; and she chooses him; that is not divorce. Malik added; That is the best of what I have heard. Malik said that if a woman who had been given the right of choice by her husband chose herself; she was divorced trebly. If her husband said; But I only gave her the right of choice in one; he had none of that. That was the best of what he had heard. Malik said; If the man gives his wife the right of choice and she says; I accept one; and he says; I did not mean that; I have given the right of choice in all three together; then if she only accepts one; she remains with him in her marriage; and that is not separation if Allah; the Exalted wills.
