Handing over the right to Issue Talaaq to the wife

· 17 Shawwal 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

A friend of mine says that her husband gave her the control of one talaaq. What does this mean? And does it make any sense?

Answer

Talaaq is the sole right of the husband. However, if the husband wishes, he can give his wife or anyone else the right to issue the talaaq.
