Fatwa ID: 08050

Answered by: Alimah Maryam Badshah

Question:
Aslamaleykoum,

I got a fask e nikhah from Pakistan.

Before going to the court, I tried that he gives me talaq or khula, I Even proposed him to take money from me.

At the end, I was obliged to go to the court, because he wasn’t giving me Khula and things have become so bad, that it was impossible to reconcile.

I am a hanafi, can I have a fatwa according to the hanafi, if it is a valid divorce and can I marry someone else.

Thank you

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:
Assalaamu ‘alaykum,

A divorce issued through an Islamic Court or Shari’ah Council is a valid divorce. Therefore, with the annulment (faskh) issued by the Islamic court you are now permitted to marry someone else.

Only Allah (عز و جل) knows best.
