كتاب الطلاقBook of Talaq
ما قالوا في الرجل يطلق امرأته (فيعلمها) الطلاق ثم يراجعها ولا يعلمها الرجعة حتى تزوجIf a Man Publicly Divorces His Wife and Then Takes Her Back Without Her Knowledge and She Marries Another, What Is the Ruling?
Hadith 19999
١٩٩٩٩ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: نا ابن نمير عن عبد الملك عن عطاء في رجل طلق امرأته ثم راجعها، فكتمها الرجعة حتى انقضت عدتها، قال: إن (أدركها) (١) قبل أن (تتزوج) (٢) فهو أحق بها، وإلا (فهو ضيّع) (٣).
Hazrat Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a man divorced his wife and then took her back, but kept the reconciliation secret until the woman's waiting period ('iddah) had passed. So, if he took her back before the woman married someone else, she would remain his wife, but if the woman got married, his reconciliation would be void.
