Can I Seek Divorce If My Husband Married My Best Friend and Abuses Me? I Heard Women Who Seek Khula Won’t Smell Jannah — Is That True? -

📚 Sunan Abi Dawud 2226
Narrated Thawban:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If any woman asks her husband for divorce without some strong reason, the odour of Paradise will be forbidden to her.

However a woman can seek for khula if she has a valid reason. Few examples :

If a woman dislikes her husband’s treatment of her – for example, he is over-strict, hot-tempered or easily-provoked, or gets angry a lot, or criticizes her and rebukes her for the slightest mistake or shortcoming, then she has the right of khula’ [female-instigated divorce].

If she dislikes his physical appearance because of some deformity or ugliness, or because one of his faculties is missing, she has the right of khula’.

If he is lacking in religious commitment – for example, he doesn’t pray, or neglects to pray in jamaa’ah, or does not fast in Ramadaan without a proper excuse, or he goes to parties where haraam things are done, such as f0rnication, drinking alcoh0l and listening to singing and musical instruments, etc. – she has the right of khula’.

If he deprives of her of her rights of spending on her maintenance, clothing and other essential needs, when he is able to provide these things, then she has the right to ask for khula’.

If he does not give her her conjugal rights and thus keep her chaste because he is impotent (i.e. unable to have interc0urse), or because he does not like her, or he prefers someone else, or he is unfair in the division of his time [i.e., among co-wives], then she has the right to ask for khula’.

Wa-Allahu A'lam!

Let’s remind ourselves and fellow Muslims to fast tomorrow for the sake of Allah ﷻ.

✨ Intend it tonight.
✨ Wake up for Suhoor.
✨ Gain the pleasure of Allah.

Small acts, great rewards.
May Allah accept it from us all. Ameen. 🤲

Just as the young men of the cave found tranquility in their belief, may we also find peace in our trust in Allah.
