Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

First of all, we ask Allaah to make a way out to your distress and facilitate for you and your husband having children and make your life happy together.

Indeed, we have already answered a similar question in Fatwa 89247. However, we say here that being separated is not considered as divorce, so it is not permissible for a woman to remarry unless her husband divorces her or that Khul’ takes place and her waiting period expires.

For more benefit about Khul’, please refer to Fatwa 89039.

Allaah Knows best.
