Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
130. 1. This is the third situation: if, despite efforts, reconciliation is not possible, then separation may be chosen through divorce. It is possible that after separation, the man may find a wife with the desired qualities and the woman may find a husband with the desired qualities. Although divorce is strongly disliked in Islam, and while it is permissible, it is such a permissible act that Allah strongly dislikes. Despite this, Allah has allowed it because sometimes circumstances reach such a point that there is no other option, and the betterment of both parties lies in separating from each other. In the mentioned hadith, although there is weakness in the chain of narration regarding its authenticity, it is clear from the texts of the Quran and Sunnah that this right should only be exercised when reconciliation is absolutely impossible in any way.
