Asking for talaaq without a valid reason
Question
Is it true if a woman asks her husband to divorce her with no valid reason than she has shook the arsh of Allah or what is the sin for this?
Answer
The actual Hadith you are referring to is as follows: Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said that the woman who seeks divorce from her husband without any valid reason will not smell the fragrance of Jannah (i.e. until she is not purified of this sin in the hereafter, she will not gain entry into paradise).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
