Summary
Talaq is legislated by the Quran, the Sunnah and the consensus of scholars, and means releasing the marriage bond by pronouncement or the like. Islam encourages spouses to be patient and first seek solutions through advice, counselling and arbitration. Talaq is a lawful matter that Allah dislikes, and it becomes a necessary solution when used as a last resort. The public is advised to preserve etiquette and dignity, since exposing or discussing other people's marital faults leads to backbiting, tale-bearing and slander.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut bahasa, talaq ((طلق bermaksud lepas dan terlepas. Sementara dari segi syara', ia bermaksud melepaskan ikatan perkahwinan dengan lafaz dan seumpamanya.
