Divorced couple keeping each other informed via sms regarding the needs of their child

· 1 Rajab 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Husband has issued one talaaq and wife is observing iddat. What is the ruling regarding informing each other about the child getting sick, needing to be taken to the doctor, etc. as these are matters that will be ongoing for life? Completely understood that they become complete strangers and no communication allowed, is it allowed to send an sms to prove the money was deposited into account, the child needed to go for tests, etc. to keep the parents informed about the child.

Answer

It will be permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
