FOR HOW LONG CAN HUSBAND AND WIFE LIVE SEPARATELY IN ISLAAM?

Questioner: For how long can a man travel leaving his wife behind?

Dr Sharof: It must not be more than four months. It must not be more than four months in as much as you do not want your wife to become wayward. A person who travels to England, neglecting his wife because of his work for four years, what is this? What kind of money do you want that requires you to neglect your wife for four years? For this reason, according to the Sharee’ah, it is permissible for a woman to take the issue to the correctors. Four years will be counted and after that if the husband is yet to arrive, she will do iddah (period of waiting) for four months and ten days; it will be assumed that the husband is dead. She will have to marry another husband, but this does not imply that her husband’s property will be shared. She will be asked to marry so that she will not become wayward. The property of the husband will not be shared until his age is calculated to have reached seventy, eighty, or ninety years. This is because it will be assumed that his colleagues would have been dead at about seventy, eighty or ninety years. The age to be used depends on the view of the corrector.

However, four years is required to make the wife free, but if her husband arrives after her waiting period, according to the Sharee’ah the man is still her legal husband on the basis of the initial marriage contract since it is (now) evident that he is not dead. If she had married a new husband before her initial husband arrives and she is yet to pack in, she still remains the wife of the initial husband. That is it.

A husband should not leave his wife for more than four months except if his wife approves of it. If her husband travels for twenty years and she approves of it, there is no difficultly in as much as she does not engage in illicit affairs. This is so because if one wishfully rejects his/her right, one cannot be censured for it. That is it.

A brother from the congregation: What if she had packed into the house of the new husband?

Dr Sharof: They (the scholars) say if the initial husband desires her, he will have to remarry her with a new contract. That is it.

A brother from the congregation: What if she has become the wife of the new husband?

Dr Sharof: That is what we explained.

The brother: Will the new husband have to divorce her?

Dr Sharof: The new husband will divorce her so that the initial husband marries her with a new contract.

The brother: What if the new husband decides not to divorce her?

Dr Sharof: If he decides not to divorce her, that’s the end. Things have changed.

So these people see marriage as contract, na why I dey shout say mohammad copied the bible to give the quoran some legitimacy,
No weed give am inspiration, nobody fit convince me say the illiterate was visited by an angel, or too much mosquitoes in the Medina cave gave him cerebral malaria; same way when I was small I had malaria and saw the image of Jesus smiling and telling me stories of John the baptist. Na wetin do mohammad be that.
If not how can one justify the abomination religion he used intimidation, terrorism, murder, chaos, rape, and ruthlessness to spread, even till now his mentees still do it, eg. Shekau, osama and co.

You said you had malaria when you were small and had hallucinations

From your post, you're still small and yet to grow up

I wish you well as you grow up, not only physically, but most importantly, mentally

The husband most times wouldn't wish to live far away from his partner, but unexpected circumstances and the very need to provide basic needs for his family would make such situation unavoidable.

May Allah make our source of livelihood easy for us. Amim

You're very close to being a Muslim..
Stop insulting anything that has to do with religion, either your own faith or other peoples faith.
For thousands of years before You're born, their is religion and for thousands of years to come after Your death, their will be religion.
Fear your position on the day of reckoning, on the day where not your mouth will speak but other part of your body.
Fear the day you will be buried and everybody turn back including and you be left alone six feet under. Fear the punishment of the grave.
Be worry about, what if my religion is wrong and theirs is right.
If you study Quran and hadith, you'll be truly amazed. It entail and contain alot of things even as a non Muslim, you'll find them very interesting.
Forget about the hate or what you see around and do your own study if you're truly interested in religion.
Don't be lazy.

Respect other people's religion so that there will be peace, you can't force people to follow your religion.

May Allah lead you to the right path. I won't blame you for this write up because you have been programmed and brainwashed to jettison the truth. A thorough research would have lightened your way.

My prayer once again: May Allah lead you right.
