36.8 Separation Of The Married Couple
٣٦۔٨ بَابُ تَفَرُّقِ الزَّوْجَيْنِ عَنْ مُزَاوَجَتِهِمَا
[Machine] Allah, the Most Blessed and Exalted, said: "And it is not lawful for you to take anything of what you have given them unless both fear that they will not be able to keep [within] the limits of Allah. But if you fear that they will not keep [within] the limits of Allah, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself. These are the limits of Allah, so do not transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah - it is those who are the wrongdoers."
This is a book written by Fulanah, the daughter of Fulan, son of Fulan, stating my good health and the legitimacy of an order for Fulan, son of Fulan, son of Fulan. I, who used to be your wife, and you have had sexual intercourse with me, and I have fulfilled my duties towards you. But then I disliked your companionship and I preferred separation from you, without any harm or injustice from you towards me. And I have asked you, when we feared not being able to fulfill the limits of Allah, to divorce me in a clear and explicit manner, and to clarify my release from our marriage through payment of my dowry to you, which is such and such amount of gold coins and such and such amount of silver coins. I have given you these amounts in addition to what is due to me as my dowry. And you have done what I asked you, and you divorced me in a clear manner, and you have fulfilled everything that was due to me from my dowry, as mentioned in this book, with the specified amounts. Besides that, I have accepted this from you as a full settlement between us, according to your words when you addressed me with it, and I responded to you, before our argument escalated. I have also paid you all the specified amounts in this book, which were due to me, except for what is due to me as my dowry. Therefore, I have become free from you and have full control over my own affairs with this approved divorce, as described in this book. So, there is no way for you to claim anything from me or request me to return. I have received from you everything that is necessary for someone in my situation, as well as everything I need, as long as I am in a waiting period with you, and as long as your husband is in a similar situation as you. So, none of us has any rights, claims, or demands against each other. Whatever one of us claims, demands, or requests from the other is considered invalid, and the one making the claim is innocent of it. Each one of us has accepted everything that was agreed upon between us, and each one of us denies anything that was mentioned in this book during our conversation, prior to our separation from each other and departure from our gathering, in which both Fulanah and Fulan acknowledged these matters.
