Divorce Also Require Witnesses?
I have a question: does a talaq (divorce) given without witnesses count as valid? I have heard a Pakistani scholar, Maulana Muhammad Ishaq Madni, who emphasized in several of his videos that a talaq without two witnesses does not count. I have also read that Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani held a similar view. In Surah At-Talaq, it is also mentioned to bring witnesses for divorce and for taking the wife back. What is Javed Ahmad Ghamidi’s view on this issue? I respect Maulana Muhammad Ishaq Madni and I have heard and read a lot from him, but I would like to understand Ghamidi’s position on this matter.

Witnesses are required at the end of the term (iddat) of divorce to resolve any dispute, not at the time of divorce. See verses 1-2 of Surah 65.

You can adopt any opinion.

But aren’t you also a student of Javed Ahmad Ghamidi Sahib? Then why do you have a different opinion on that?
