MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND
“ The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, “Three matters to be taken seriously whether in earnest or in jest: marriage, divorce, and taking back a wife (after a divorce that is not final).”(1) Footnotes: 1- The purpose of this is to affirm the seriousness of the three issues mentioned in the ḥadīth. If all people were to treat these matters lightly and undertake them in jest, the rulings set by Allah regarding them would be nullified. Thus, it does not matter if a person says, "I was only joking," as he will be accountable for the ensuing effects of what he has uttered in this regard. In such cases, the rulings concerning marriage or divorce or taking back a wife will be valid and effective. Scholars have agreed that if a person divorces his wife jokingly, then his divorce is considered valid. ”
