Divorce and its Limits

SUMMARY: Ibn Umar divorced his wife only once.

Yunus bin Jubair said that he asked Ibn 'Umar "How many times did you pronounce divorce to your wife? He replied, once".
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ كَمْ طَلَّقْتَ امْرَأَتَكَ فَقَالَ وَاحِدَةً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the limits of divorce in marriage. It was narrated by Yunus bin Jubair who asked Ibn 'Umar how many times he had pronounced divorce to his wife. Ibn 'Umar replied that he had only done it once. This shows that even though divorce is permissible in Islam, it should be used as a last resort and not taken lightly or done multiple times. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said “The most detestable of lawful things to Allah are divorces” which further emphasizes the importance of limiting the use of this practice.

Divorce should not be seen as an easy way out for couples who are having difficulties in their marriage but rather they should try to work through their issues with patience and understanding before taking such a drastic step. If couples do decide to get divorced then they must follow the Islamic laws regarding this matter so that both parties can move on with their lives without any legal complications or disputes arising from it later on down the line.
