2025. 'Imrân bin Husain was asked about a man who divorced his wife then had intercourse with her, and there were no witnesses to his divorcing her or his taking her back. 'Imrân said: "You have divorced (her) in a manner that is not according to the Sunnah, and you have taken her back in a manner that is not according to the Sunnah. Bring people to witness your divorcing her and taking her back." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2025 - حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الصَّوَّافُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرِّشْكِ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ الْحُصَيْنِ، سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ، ثُمَّ يَقَعُ بِهَا وَلَمْ يُشْهِدْ عَلَى طَلَاقِهَا، وَلَا عَلَى رَجْعَتِهَا، فَقَالَ عِمْرَانُ: «طَلَّقْتَ بِغَيْرِ سُنَّةٍ، وَرَاجَعْتَ بِغَيْرِ سُنَّةٍ، أَشْهِدْ عَلَى طَلَاقِهَا، وَعَلَى رَجْعَتِهَا»

Commentary

As the witnesses are required for the marriage bond, similarly the divorce and return should be in the presence of witnesses. (Although the presence of witnesses is not required compulsorily for divorce and return as it is in the case of marriage. — Usmani)
