Does private seclusion (Khalwa) with a divorced woman constitute revocation?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Reconciliation (Return During 'Iddah)
Primary text
Private seclusion (Khalwa) with the divorced woman does not constitute revocation because it is not considered enjoyment (istimta'). This is the chosen position of Abu al-Khattab.
Supporting text
It has been narrated from others among our companions that revocation occurs through khalwa because it is an act forbidden with a non-mahram woman (ajnabiyya) but permissible with one's wife, thereby establishing revocation analogous to other forms of enjoyment.
