Is it allowable? <\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>The  concept of Halalah is one of the ugliest and shameful of issues of  Islamic jurisprudence. According to the Shari\u2018ah, if a man divorces his  wife for a third time in his life, the two cannot re-marry unless the  wife marries a second person and then that person due to some reason  divorces her. In order to fulfill this legal requirement, subterfuges  have been devised and marriages are planned with the understanding that a  person will divorce the wife in order to make her legal to marry the  first husband. In this regard, the jurists also impose the condition  that before he divorces his wife he must have sexual intercourse with  her. In religious parlance, this subterfuge in which a lady is made  legally allowed for her first husband by marrying another person and  then being divorced from her after having sexual intercourse with him is  called Halalah.<\/p>\n<p>Needless  to say, that all subterfuges amount to playing with the Islamic law and  its spirit. Moreover, the condition of sexual intercourse imposed has  arisen because of not understanding a very subtle comment of the Prophet  (sws) in a Hadith. If its text reported by Bukhari is analyzed it is  evident that a certain lady had married a person only to become legally  permissible to marry her first husband. She demanded divorce from her  second husband on the false grounds that her husband was sexually  impotent. When the Prophet (sws) became certain of her scheme, he  reprimanded her in very subtle words. He told her that she could only  become permissible for the first husband after \u2018tasting\u2019 her second  husband. This of course was not a condition as has been generally  construed: the implied meaning being that if according to her, her  second husband does not have the ability to copulate with her then she  can only be divorced from him after he copulates with her \u2013 which of  course he will never since, according to her, he is not capable of it.  Thus if anything can be deduced from this Hadith, it is prohibition of  Halalah and not vice versa. Hence it is absolutely prohibited and is  tantamount to making fun of the law.<\/p>\n<p>The text of the Hadith is as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"q_ar\">\n<p style=\"text-align:

At this,  \u2018Abdu\u2019l-Rahman said: \u2018O Prophet (sws) of Allah she has told a lie! I am  very strong and can satisfy her; the truth of the matter is that she is  disobedient and wants to go back to Rafa\u2018ah\u2019.

Then, upon  seeing the sons of \u2018Abdu\u2019l-Rahman, the Prophet (sws) remarked: \u2018Are  these your sons?\u2019 When he replied in the affirmative, the Prophet said:  \u2018Do you tell such lies [O \u2018Abdu\u2019l-Rahman\u2019s wife].
