It Is Not Permissible for a Woman to Ask for Her Sister’s Divorce It is reported from Abu Hurayrah (may Allāh be pleased with him) that the Prophet ﷺ said: “It is not permissible for a woman to ask for her sister’s divorce in order to claim her share; for she only has what has been decreed for her.” (Agreed upon) Commentary: The Shari'ah has regulated dealings among people in buying and selling, clearly outlining necessary rules to prevent disputes, ignorance, deceit, or wrongdoing in transactions. In this hadith, the Prophet ﷺ prohibited certain types of dealings that could lead to conflict, enmity, or injustice among Muslims. Specifically, he prohibited a woman from asking her husband to divorce her co-wife (her sister in religion) in order to monopolise what is in her co-wife’s share. In other words, she should not seek to take exclusive possession of the husband’s favours and deprive the other wife of her rightful share. In Abu Dawud’s narration, it is stated: “Let her marry; for she only has what has been decreed for her.” This means she should not make her sister’s divorce a condition; the other wife may either accept or refuse. The essence is that a woman should not impose such a condition, and she will receive what Allāh Almighty has decreed for her. Whatever is destined for her will inevitably reach her.
