English

Ahmed Ali

If a man divorces her again (a third time), she becomes unlawful for him (and he cannot remarry her) until she has married another man. Then if he divorces her there is no harm if the two unite again if they think they will keep within the bounds set by God and made clear for those who understand.

Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : allah then went back to his saying: (divorce must be pronounced twice) saying: (and if he hath divorced her) i.e. the third time, (then she is not lawful unto him thereafter) after the third divorce (until she hath wedded another husband) and the marriage must be consummated. (then if he (the other husband) divorce her) this was revealed about 'abd al-rahman ibn al-zubayr, (it is no sin for both of them) the first husband and the woman (that they come together again) with a new dowry and marriage contract (if they consider) if they know (that they are able to observe the limits of allah) the rulings of allah regulating the relationship between husband and wife. (these are the limits of allah) these are allah's rulings and obligations. (he manifesteth them for people who have knowledge) they are from allah and believe them to be so.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : if he, the husband, divorces her, after the two utterances [of divorce]; she shall not be lawful to him after that, after the third [utterance of] divorce, until she marries another husband, who has sexual intercourse with her, as reported by the two shaykhs [bukhārī and muslim]. if he, the second husband, divorces her, then neither of them would be at fault, that is, the woman and her first husband, to return to each other, in wedlock, after the completion of the waiting period, if they think that they will maintain god’s bounds. those, matters mentioned, are god’s bounds, which he makes clear to a people who have knowledge, [a people who] reflect.
