Sahih al-Bukhari 5317 (Book 68, Hadith 66) #5095
Marriage and Divorce Advice

SUMMARY: A woman who had married and divorced two men came to the Prophet (ﷺ) for advice. He told her that she could not remarry her first husband until she had consummated her marriage with the second one.

Narrated 'Aisha: Rifa'a Al-Qurazi married a lady and then divorced her whereupon she married another man. She came to the Prophet and said that her new husband did not approach her, and that he was completely impotent. The Prophet said (to her), "No (you cannot remarry your first husband) till you taste the second husband and he tastes you (ie till he consummates his marriage with you).
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ رِفَاعَةَ، الْقُرَظِيَّ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً، ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا فَتَزَوَّجَتْ آخَرَ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَأْتِيهَا، وَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلاَّ مِثْلُ هُدْبَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ حَتَّى تَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ، وَيَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَكِ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith narrated by 'Aisha, a woman came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ seeking advice on a difficult situation. She had married two men in succession and wanted to know if she could remarry her first husband. The Prophet ﷺ advised her that before she can do so, it is necessary for her to consummate the marriage with the second man. This teaches us that divorce is not something taken lightly in Islam; it should be done only after careful consideration of all factors involved and should be seen as a last resort when all other options have been exhausted. Furthermore, it also shows us that Islam places great importance on fulfilling marital obligations even if one has gone through divorce proceedings; in this case it was necessary for the woman to consummate her marriage with the second man before being able to remarry her first husband again.
