Q: Biwi se kitne mahine dur reh sakte shariah ke mutabhikh?
Translation: How many months can a husband stay away from his wife in light of the Shariah?
A: Chaar mahina se zaaid bibi se dur rehna jaaiz nahi lekin is se talaaq bilkul waaq' nahi hota he.
Translation: It is not permissible to stay away from one's wife for more than four months. Nevertheless, no Talaaq will take place if the husband stayed away from his wife for more than four months.
