Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Sama’at who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah^asws about the Words of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h35"><a href="/books/quran:4#h35">[4:35]</a></a> then appoint a judge from his family and a judge from her family</span>, ‘What is your^asws view if the two judges seek permission, so they both say to the man and the woman, ‘Is it not that you have both made your matter to us regarding the reconciliation, and the separation?’ So the man and the woman say, ‘Yes’. So witnessed bear witness with that upon them both. Is their separating them allowed?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes, but it does not happen except upon purity from the woman, from without copulation from the husband’. It was said to him^asws, ‘What is your^asws view if one of the two judges has effected separation between the two, and the other one says, ‘I will not affect separation between them both’. So he^asws said: ‘Separation does not happen until they both agree upon the separation. So when they are both gathered upon the separation, their separation is allowed’.
