Question:
Salam alaikum Sheikh,
My husband has recently issued talaq. He says his istikhara showed him its best to talaq, and my istikhara indicated for the marriage to continue. I believe there’s hope. How do I convince him? Jazakallah.
Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
Your istikhara is the more correct one because it is closer to what Allah Most High loves since the Holy Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) said that Allah Most High detests divorce. However, arguing about it may not be the best course. Just ask your husband from the heart to take you back and recite daily “Ya Wadud” x1000.
