The Importance of Divorce

SUMMARY: Divorce should only be declared once and should not be taken lightly.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Abu Bakr ibn Hazm thatUmar ibn Abd al-Aziz had asked him what people said about the 'irrevocable' divorce, and Abu Bakr had replied that Aban ibn Uthman had clarified that it was declared only once. Umar ibn Abd al- Aziz said, "Even if divorce had to be declared a thousand times, the'irrevocable' would use them all up. A person who says, 'irrevocably' has cast the furthest limit".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، قَالَ لَهُ الْبَتَّةُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ فِيهَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَانَ أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ يَجْعَلُهَا وَاحِدَةً ‏.‏ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ لَوْ كَانَ الطَّلاَقُ أَلْفًا مَا أَبْقَتِ الْبَتَّةُ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا مَنْ قَالَ الْبَتَّةَ فَقَدْ رَمَى الْغَايَةَ الْقُصْوَى

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of divorce and how it should not be taken lightly. Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz asked Aban ibn Uthman what people said about the 'irrevocable' divorce, to which he replied that it was declared only once. Umar then stated that even if a person were to declare divorce a thousand times, the 'irrevocable' would use them all up. This shows how serious this type of divorce is and how it should not be done without thought or consideration for its consequences. It also highlights the importance of marriage in Islam as something that should not be entered into lightly or ended without due consideration for its implications on both parties involved.
