وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال : أسلمت امرأة فتزوجت فجاء زوجها فقال : يا رسول الله! إني كنت أسلمت ، وعلمت بإسلامي ، فانتزعها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم من زوجها الآخر ، وردها إلى زوجها الأول. رواه أحمد وأبو داود وابن ماجه ، وصححه ابن حبان والحاكم
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (RA): A woman had accepted Islam and then re-married, so her (previous) husband came and said, "O Allah's Messenger, I had accepted Islam and she knew that I had done so." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took her away from her second husband and returned her to her first one. [Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah. Ibn Hibban and al-Hakim graded it Sahih (authentic)].

Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، الطلاق، باب إذا أسلم أحد الزوجين، حديث:2239، وابن ماجه، النكاح، حديث:2008، وأحمد:1 /364، وابن حبان (الإحسان):6 /182، حديث:4147، والحاكم:2 /200 وصححه، ووافقه الذهبي.* سماك عن عكرمة، سلسلة ضعيفة.»©Explanation:
The aforementioned narration is weak in its chain of transmission; however, the ruling remains that if, due to religious difference, separation and dissolution occur between husband and wife—such that the woman accepts Islam, and then during her waiting period (‘iddah), the man also accepts Islam, and the woman is aware of the man’s acceptance of Islam—then in such a case, she is absolutely not permitted to marry elsewhere. If she does so, the marriage will be declared invalid.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The narration is weak in its chain of transmission; however, the ruling is that if either of the spouses accepts Islam, separation occurs between them.
But if, during the waiting period (‘iddah), the husband also becomes Muslim, then the woman will remain in the marriage bond of that same husband.
Afterwards, if she does not wish to wait for her former husband, she is justified in marrying a Muslim man.
However, if she chooses to wait until he becomes Muslim, even if the period becomes lengthy, there is no harm in this.
As will be mentioned in the following chapter and hadith.
