Chapter on Divorce According to the Sunnah

وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ اِتَّقُوا اَللّٰهَ رَبَّكُمْ لاٰ تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَ لاٰ يَخْرُجْنَ إِلاّٰ أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفٰاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ قَالَ "إِلاَّ أَنْ تَزْنِيَ فَتُخْرَجَ وَ يُقَامَ عَلَيْهَا اَلْحَدُّ".
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic: "And fear Allah سبحانه وتعالى, your Lord عز وجل. Do not expel them from their houses, nor should they leave unless they commit a clear immorality" (Surah At-Talaq 65:1). Imam عليه السلام replied: "Except if she commits adultery, then she is to be expelled, and the prescribed punishment (ḥadd) is to be carried out upon her."
