As salamu alaykum to all muslims.. I am new muslim and I have knowledge about nikkah but i have no knowledge about talaq... what is the procedure of talaq if someone wants after nikkah ???? :statisfie
Asalaamaualaykum : Its a good question.
Islam doesn't have a rigid procedure to the process of Talaq but the Quran & Hadith do indicate a general guideline to how it is best to do it in the event.
The general guideline to the process is to avoid giving the Talaq to the point that it is irrevocable in haste. Rather it is encouraged to give the Talaq in stages. The wisdom here is that with each stage of each Talaq, the couple will have time to reflect and ponder within themselves as to whether its best for them. This does not mean that an immediate irrevocable Talaq is invalid, but what it does mean that it is discouraged.
This topic of Talaq is a red flag topic in Islam whereby many people don't know the difference between Validity against what is encouraged/discouraged.
It will be merely impossible for any one person to explain the entire issue to you in one single post as it has many different valid opinions. It will be memorising if anyone could take into account all opinions in the topic and roll it out in one post on this website - So you would have to probably read all the posts concerning this topic and inshAllah speak to an Aaalim/Aalima for even more clarification.
One of the reasons that it is a long elasticated topic is because the difference of opinions lay both in the
A) Validity / Invalidity of the Talaq.
B) What is encouraged /discouraged in method and procedure.
It is a very interesting Topic to research from an academical point.
Happy reading and learning.
