Muwatta Malik #1289
Divorce
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that
Abdullah ibn Masud said that there was nothing binding on someone who
said, "Every woman I marry is divorced," if he did not name a specific
tribe or woman.
Malik said, "That is the best of what I have
heard."
Malik said about a man saying to his wife, "You are
divorced, and every woman I marry is divorced," or that all his
property would be sadaqa if he did not do such-and-such, and he broke
his oath: "As for his wives, it is divorce as he said, and as for his
statement, 'Every woman I marry is divorced', if he did not name a
specific woman, tribe, or land, or such, it is not binding on him and
he can marry as he wishes. As for his property, he gives a third of it
away as sadaqa."
