Question
A man said to his wife: "If you don't come back home by 30 January, you are divorced." He was advised by a Mufti to extend the date to 15 February to enable her to return. He did so. What is the ruling?
Answer
The condition on which a Talaaq is suspended cannot be extended or cancelled. The Talaaq will come into effect as soon as the condition materializes. Hence, if on the 30th January the wife did not return, one Talaaq Raj'i came into effect.
