Divorce to revert Christian wife left fold of Islam

Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

 Assalamualaikum...
 
My question is on divorce. I was married to a revert for 10yrs. Our marriage was not reconcilable as she had an affair. We seperated & she left the fold of Islam. Her views are back to Christian, do I still have to give a non believer Talac?

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Yes Brother, as long as she is from People of the Book (Christian Jews ) other than Muslim, technically speaking, she will remain your wifeuntil you pronounce one divorce on her to free yourself. One divorce is enough for a couple to be divorced.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
