Summary
The hadith stating that divorce shakes the Throne is judged unsound by many hadith scholars, and some rule it fabricated. It must not be attributed to the Prophet SAW or narrated except to explain that it is false. The hadith that the most hated lawful thing to Allah is divorce is disputed, and this ruling adopts the view that it is mursal. Divorce is permitted for certain reasons, but a husband is encouraged to seek a solution first and treat divorce as the last resort.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
kami cenderung untuk menyatakan bahawa hadith di atas adalah tidak sahih dan kita tidak boleh sesekali menyandarkannya kepada Nabi SAW serta meriwayatkannya kepada orang lain melainkan bagi menyatakan kepalsuannya.
