So, you have to read it to the end.

Specifically, there are three important points about “is it sunnah to marry a divorcee?” which I will explain now. The three important things I mean are as follows:

Meaning of Sunnah to Marry a Divorcee

The first important thing about “is it sunnah to marry a divorcee?” what I will explain now is the meaning of the sentence "sunnah to marry a divorcee". I want you to understand that so that you have a complete understanding of the focus of our discussion.

If we look at the phrase "sunnah to marry a divorcee", then we will understand that there are two points that we must understand. The two points I mean are as follows:

Sunnah

By the way, do you know what sunnah is? If you don't know about it, then you should remember that sunnah is everything that is attributed to Prophet Muhammad. That is an explanation of what the sunnah is in general.

The specific meaning of sunnah is as follows:

كُلُّ مَا نُقِلَ عَنْ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْ أَقْوَالٍ وَأَفْعَالٍ وَتَقْرِيْرٍ ، وَصِفَاتٍ خَلْقِيَّةٍ وَخُلُقِيَّةٍ، سَوَاءً أَكَانَ ذَلِكَ قَبْلَ الْبِعْثَةِ أَمْ بَعْدَهَا

Everything that is narrated from the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, such as sayings, deeds, decisions, attributes of creation and ethics, either before he was sent as a Prophet and Messenger or after that.

That is one of the definitions of sunnah according to hadith experts.

You can find an explanation of the sunnah in the hadith below:

مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَأَجْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ

Whoever sets an example of good habits in Islam, then he will get his reward and the reward of those who imitate it, without reducing their reward in the slightest. And whoever sets an example of a bad habit, then he will get his sin, and the sin of those who follow him without reducing their sin in the slightest.

But, in general, if we find someone explaining sunnah to marry a divorcee, then it means that the Prophet Muhammad did that and that is a good thing in Islam. But if we find someone asking about sunnah to marry a divorcee, it means that the person is asking whether it is permissible in Islam.
