Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books An Introduction To The Rights And Duties Of Women In Islam Divorce in Islam Islam tolerates divorce and separation of a husband and wife under specific conditions; however, Islam regards divorce as abhorrent and reprehensible. Thus, it has been censured in Hadith.

Imam Sadiq (‘a) has declared: عن أبی عبدالله (ع) قال: «إنَّ الله عزّ و جلّ یحبّ البیت الذی فیه العرس، و یبغض البیت الذی فیه الطلاق، و ما من شیء أبغض من الطلاق.» Verily, Allah loves a house in which a wedding is held and hates a house in which a divorce is conducted and there is nothing more hateful than divorce.[^1] Noble Sadiq (‘a) has elsewhere announced: عن أبی عبدالله (ع) قال: «ما من شیءٍ اُحلّه الله أبغض إلیه من الطلاق، و إنّ الله یبغض المطلاق الذّواق.» Among that which Allah has made permissible there is nothing He hates more than divorce and Allah hates a man who divorces and marries many women.[^2] He has also stated: عن أبی عبدالله (ع) قال: «بلغ النبی (ص) أنّ أبا أیّوب یرید أن یطلّق امرأته فقال رسول الله: إنّ طلاق امّ أیّوب لحوب، أی إثم.» When the Prophet of Allah heard that Abu Ayyub (Ayyub’s father) intended to divorce his wife, he declared: The divorce of Umm Ayyub (Ayyub’s mother) is a sin.[^3] Imam Muhammad Baqir (‘a) cited from the Prophet of Allah (S): عن أبی جعفر (ع) قال: قال رسول الله (ص): «أوصانی جبرئیل علیه السلام بالمرأة حتی ظننت أنّه لا ينبغي طلاقها إلّا من فاحشة مبیّنة.» Gabriel (‘a) commended wives to such an extent that I presumed divorce is not permissible unless a wife performs an‌ explicit act of unfaithfulness and infidelity.[^4] Noble Sadiq (‘a) had stated: عن الصادق (ع) قال: «تزوّجوا و لا تطلّقوا؛ فإنّ الطلاق یهتزّ منه العرش.» Marry and do not divorce because surely divorce shakes the very Throne of God [ ‘Arsh ].[^5] The Prophet of Allah (S) has proclaimed: قال رسول الله (ص): «ما أحبّ الله مباحاً کالنکاح، و ما أبغض الله مباحاً کالطلاق.» Allah loves no permissible like marriage, and Allah hates no permissible like divorce.[^6] Islam holds divorce as an extremely ugly and vile act, which must be avoided within the bounds of possibility as it even rocks the very Throne of God.

Even though it has not been forbidden, for various reasons, it is severely condemned. In order to prevent divorce, Islam campaigns against its causes, some of which are enumerated below: One influential factor for divorce is the disheartenment of a husband for his legitimate wife and his fondness and affection towards non- mahram women.
