[Note: for more detail on methods of Talaaq see Question no 45 

Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (Very lightly(like: with miswak) as symbolic beating ); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all). 

[Al-Qur’an ch 4 Verses 34]

If ye fear a breach between them twain, appoint (two) arbiters, one from his family, and the other from hers;

[Al-Qur’anch4Verse35]

Thirdly, Say “I divorce you” (Talaaq) wait for the three month for the reconciliation again. 

“and take for witness two persons from among you(Good Muslims While divorcing”

[Al-Qur’an Ch 65:2].

If they wife and husband return within the three month , then there is no divorce, if they won’t return back then first divorce is complete , both of them got separated , If later they realized that they did the mistake, if they want to marry again they can marry again . 

“Do not prevent them marrying their previous partner”

[Al-Qur’an ch 2 Verses 232]

SECOND TIME DIVORCE

2) After first divorce, if they want to marry again they can but. New marriage contract, New MAHR. MEHER: Marital gift in cash given at that time to bride on marriage or later can be given, should be fixedat the time of the marriage. Meher is compulsory to solemnize the marriage.

DISPUITES RAISED AGAIN

After marrying again there is dispute raised again then procedure is same as previous.

RECONCILIATION

Firstly, Husband and Wife they should have private meeting for the reconciliation 

Secondly, Bring the Arbitrary from the both sides for the reconciliation. Then

Thirdly, Say “I divorce you” (Talaaq) wait for the three month for the reconciliation again.

“and take for witness two persons from among you(Good Muslims While divorcing”

[Al-Qur’an Ch 65:2].

If they wife and husband return within the three month , then there is no divorce, if they won’t return back then second divorce is complete , both of them got separated later they realized that they did the mistake if they want to marry again they can marry again .

THIRD TIME DIVORCE

3) Even third time is the same after Second divorce, if they want to marry again they can but. New marriage contract, New MEHER(Marital gift in cash given at that time or later can be given to bride on marriage its compulsory to solemnize the marriage ).

Note: No require of third person or party for marring the pervious partner: seen part “B”.

DISPUITES RAISED AGAIN

After marrying again there is dispute raised again then procedure is same as previous.

RECONCILIATION:

Firstly, Husband and Wife they should have private meeting for the reconciliation

Secondly, Bring the Arbitrary from the both sides for the reconciliation. Then

Thirdly, Say “I divorce you” (Talaaq) wait for the three month for the reconciliation again.

“and take for witness two persons from among you(Good Muslims While divorcing”

[Al-Qur’an Ch 65:2].

If the wife and husband return within the three month, then there is no divorce, if they won’t return back then the third divorce is complete.

NOW THREE DIVORCE IS COMPLETED

4) Fourth time if they want to marry again, then she can’t marry unless she marry the another person and take divorce from him. Because Islam given a very high priority to the Marriage and given various conditions for the divorce, it’s not like a toy game, marry and divorce, marry and divorce, marry and divorce …

WHY?

After three divorces, they not allowed to marry their previous partner .Why?

After the three divorce she should marry to another person, not like planning some people do that I will spend with you one night and two night then I will give you divorce then marry previous partner its absolutely harram Zina(Adultery) details discuss below. When she marry the another person, if she satisfied with her second partner no problem but if She realized that second partner (husband) not better then first ex-Husband. The first (ex-Husband) one was more take caring of me then present husband. If she want to take divorce from him, same procedure of divorce and if she want to marry her first ex-husband and he (ex-Husband) too agree then it’s allowed or she can marry any another Muslim Man. And I not come across in my whole life have seen that someone given three times divorce according to Islamic methods and fall in such situations want to marry same person for the fourth time. First time or second time is the last.

PART :B

TAHLEEL MARRIAGE (HALALA) IS HARAAM AND INVALID

If a man divorces his wife for the third time, then she is not permissible for him to marry until she has married another man, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And if he has divorced her (the third time), then she is not lawful unto him thereafter until she has married another husband” 

[Al-Qur’an ch 2 Verses 230]

It is stipulated that this marriage which will make her permissible for her first husband should be a valid marriage. Temporary marriage (mut’ah marriage) or marriage for the purpose of making her permissible for her first husband then divorcing her (tahleel marriage) are both haraam and invalid according to the vast majority of scholars, and it does not make the woman permissible for her first husband. 

See: al-Mughni (10/49-55).

There are saheeh ahaadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which show that tahleel marriage is haraam. 

Abu Dawood (2076) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has cursed the muhallil and the muhallal lahu.” This was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Sunan Abi Dawood. 

The muhallil is the one who marries a woman and divorces her so that she can go back to her first husband, and the muhallal lahu is the first husband. 

Ibn Majaah (1936) narrated from ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Shall I not tell you of a borrowed billy-goat.” They said, Yes, O Messenger of Allaah. He said, “He is al-muhallil. May Allaah curse al-muhallil and al-muhallal lahu.” Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah. 

‘Abd al-Razzaaq (6/2650 narrated that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said whilst addressing the people: “By Allaah, no muhallil or muhallal lahu will be brought to me but I will stone them.” 

This applies whether he states his intention clearly when doing the marriage contract and they stipulate that when he has made her permissible for her first husband he will divorce her, or they do not stipulate that and he intends it to himself only.

Al-Haakim narrated from Naafi’ that a man said to Ibn ‘Umar: I married a woman and made her permissible for her first husband, and he did not tell me to do that and he did not know. He said: No, marriage should be based on genuine intentions; if you like her then keep her, and if you do not like her then leave her. He said: At the time of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) we would regard that as zina. And he said: They will still be adulterers, even if they remain for twenty years.

Imam Ahmad was asked about a man who married a woman intending thereby in his heart to make her permissible for her first husband, but the woman did not know about that. He said: He is a muhallil, and if he intends thereby to make her permissible for her first husband, then he is cursed.

Based on that, it is not permissible for you to marry this woman if you intend thereby to make her permissible for her first husband. Doing that is a major sin, and the marriage will not be valid, rather it is zina – Allaah forbid.

Muhammad (Salalao Alahi Wasalam) is the Messenger of Allah

Never-ending fight between the ills and goodness

This is absolutely true that from the inception there found a never-ending fight between the ills and goodness.

What are (ills) buraee and goodness???

In fact (ills) badness is the daughter of sins and goodness is the daughter of virtues (naekie)

The act of frequent ills takes us in the lap of sins and its final destination is displeasure of ALLAH as well the dwelling place is hellish well.

On the contrary, the act of performing a little virtuous deed takes us closest to ALLAH (The only one and true god)

and makes us apple of his eyes ,

COMMANDING OFFICER S OF THESE TWO FIGHTERS

MR DEVIL CURSED ‘; He always gives direction and allures the human beings by creating attractive form and charm, he pre –shadows and exhibits the fascinating conclusions of any devilish deed. He mesmerizes the senses and benumbs the chamber of brain , which has an ability to discriminate between badness and goodness.Thus ,behind the whole strategy of hailing or inviting the (ills) Mr Devil as commanding officer plays vital role and all the credit of human s destruction goes to commanding officer . The person who gets trapped means killed by the bullet of (ills) or badness and who fires the bullet Mr Devil (yes) sure

MR PIOUS CONSCIENCE . Allah has born a hidden conscience in the existence of every one who remains alive till the last breath, actually he is our real commander n chief to restrict us against going astray , he time to time admonishes us and frightens about the will of creator, but he has no enchanting sources except saying ( to suppress the wishes and show patience) , It becomes very difficult and at times impossible to bridle back the fast –running blooded youth, against the compliance of devil

STRONGEST WEAPON OF CONSCIENCE AGAINST DEVIL

Holy Quran ;, In Holy Quran ALLAH says that (GREATEST PEACE YOU WILL FIND IN YOUR SOUL IF YOU TAKES MY NAME AND PRAYS ME IN ABUNDANCE) 

Holy Quran In Holy Quran Allah says that (DEVIL IS YOUR OPEN ENEMY )

My dear friends I prepared this topic to make you feel that all our happy moments come to us by the will of ALLAH if we will care in complying the ALLAH ,HE WILL DEFINITELY KEEP US HAPPIEST 

REMEMBER DEVIL HAS 6 SIX WEAPONS TO DESTROY YOU 

1 ANGER

2 BAD LANGUAGE WHICH HURTS OTHERS

3 DISHONESTY

4 EVERY ACT WHICH CAUSES TO BRING ALLAHs DISPLEASURE

5 HYPOCRISY AND FALSEHOOD

Talaq-e-Tafweez

WHAT IS TALAQ-E-TAFWEEZ?

Talaq e tafweez - A husband may delegate his power to give Talaq to any third party or even to his wife. This delegation is called tafweez. An agreement made either before or after the marriage providing that the wife is at liberty to divorce herself from her husband under certain specified conditions (e.g. husband taking a second wife), is valid, provided that such power is not absolute and unconditional and that the conditions are reasonable and are not opposed to public policy.

In Mohd Khan vs Mst Shahmali AIR 1972, there was a pre-nuptial agreement in which the defendant agreed to live in plaintiff's parental house after marriage and if he left the house, he would pay a certain sum to the plaintiff, the default of which the condition would act as divorce. It was held that the condition was not unconscionable or opposed to public policy.
Note that a wife does not divorce her husband but gets herself divorced from the husband.Ameer Ali gives three kinds of tafweez - (This is given in Aqil Ahmed's book. I have no idea what is the difference between the three).Ikhtiar - giving her authority to Talaq herself.Amr-bayed - leaving the matter in her own hands.Mashiat - giving her the option to do what she likes.
This does not deprive the husband from his right to give Talaq.Talaq e taliq - It means contingent divorce. Under the Hanafi law, pronouncement of divorce may take effect immediately or at some future time or event.
