Ibn Majah

Benefits and Issues:
Imam Hakim has declared this narration to be authentic, and Imam Dhahabi has also affirmed his authentication.
(Mustadrak Hakim, Kitab al-Talaq, Hadith: 2794) However, Abu Hatim, Daraqutni, and Bayhaqi have considered it to be mursal.
Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has also, most likely for this reason, included both narrations as weak in Da‘if Sunan Abi Dawud.

And by “disliked” (karahah) is meant the dislike of those causes due to which divorce (talaq) occurs.
Allamah Khattani says that Allah the Exalted has made the act of divorce itself permissible, and it is established that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam divorced his wives and then took them back.
(Sunan Abi Dawud, Kitab al-Talaq, Hadith: 2283; Mustadrak Hakim, Kitab al-Talaq, Hadith: 2792) Similarly, Ibn Umar had a wife to whom he was very attached, but Umar radi Allahu anhu did not like him staying with her.
He complained about this to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so he called Ibn Umar and said: “Abdullah, divorce your wife.” Thus, he divorced her.
(Jami‘ al-Tirmidhi, Kitab al-Talaq wa’l-‘Ilan, Hadith: 1189) And it is not possible that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would command something that is disliked by Allah the Exalted.
Different Types of Divorce: 1.
Sunnah Divorce (Talaq al-Sunnah): This has two forms.
(a) Talaq Ahsan: A man gives his wife one divorce (talaq) in a state of purity (tuhr) in which he has not had intercourse, then leaves her until her waiting period (‘iddah) is completed.
Or he may take her back before the completion of the waiting period.
(b) Talaq Hasan: He gives a divorce in a state of purity in which he has not had intercourse, then in the second purity gives a second divorce, and in the third purity gives a third divorce.

2.
Innovated Divorce (Talaq Bid‘iyy): To give multiple divorces in one word or sentence, or to use multiple sentences to give multiple divorces, but all in one purity, or to give divorce in a purity in which intercourse has taken place.
3.
Revocable Divorce (Talaq Raj‘i): The first and second divorces are revocable.
That is, during the waiting period, the husband has the right to take his wife back.

4.
(a) Irrevocable Divorce (Talaq Ba’in: Minor Separation): That is, he gives one divorce and then remains silent until the waiting period is completed.
Now the woman has become separated (ba’in) and may marry whomever she wishes.
The first husband may also marry her with her approval and permission.
In this case, after the waiting period, a new contract and new dower (mahr) are required.
(b) Irrevocable Divorce (Talaq Ba’in: Major Separation): He completes three divorces in different times or different sittings so that the husband no longer has the right to take her back. In such a case, the woman must marry another man (with the intention of a real marriage), and after actual intercourse, if she is then divorced or her husband dies, she may marry her first husband.

5.
Explicit Divorce (Talaq Sarih): To give divorce using clear and explicit words.

6.
Allusive Divorce (Talaq Kinayah): To give divorce using words that can mean both divorce and something else.
In this case, the husband’s intention is taken into account.

7.
Immediate Divorce (Talaq Munjiz): An explicit and clear divorce that takes effect immediately.

8.
Conditional Divorce (Talaq Mu‘allaq): To make divorce conditional upon some statement or action, for example, “If such and such happens, then divorce,” etc.

Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، الطلاق، باب في كراهية الطلاق، حديث:2178، وابن ماجه، الطلاق، حديث:2018، وانظر علل الحديث لابن أبي حاتم:1 /431.»©Explanation:
➊ From this hadith, it is understood that not all things are beloved to Allah. Some things, despite being lawful (halal), are such that Allah, the Exalted, dislikes them. Among these is divorce (talaq). Divorce is lawful (halal), but this is because at times a person is compelled, and expediency demands that divorce should take place.

➋ It is considered bad and disliked because it leads to mutual hatred and, at times, long-standing enmity, which becomes a cause of joy and delight for Shaytan. Since generally, there is neither reward in it nor does it bring nearness to Allah, the Exalted, therefore, as much as possible, it is better to avoid it.

➌ Based on circumstances and conditions, it has various types: sometimes it is recommended (mustahabb) and permissible (ja'iz), and at other times it is disliked (makruh) and forbidden (haram) as well. Details can be seen in the commentaries of hadith and books of jurisprudence (fiqh).
