Question
My brother has been very unjust to his wife. She is a good woman who takes care of our mother who is very difficult. Although my brother is a Haafiz, he is not a faithful husband. He does not respect his wife. He gave her Talaaq. He said that he made Istikhaarah before issuing Talaaq. Is it proper to make Istikhaarah for Talaaq?
Answer
While Istikhaarah is valid for deciding whether to issue Talaaq or not, it does not mitigate your brother's unfaithfulness and not fulfilling the rights of his wife. He will be held responsible for his injustice and oppression by Allah Ta'ala.
