Is it a condition for the pronouncement of divorce that the wife hears it?

Question:
We move on to a message from Hatour Faraj Muhammad. He says: I work in the Kingdom, and I am from Egypt. I ask a question: Is the pronouncement of divorce limited to the wife hearing it, or does it take effect in her absence, when I am in another country, such as Saudi Arabia?

Answer:
Divorce is a right of the husband that he exercises when he needs it, and the wife has no connection to it. If the husband pronounces a divorce in accordance with the Sunnah, by divorcing her with a single pronouncement during a period of purity in which he did not have intercourse with her, then the divorce takes effect, and it is not a condition that the wife hears it. This is because it is the husband's right, wherever it is issued from, whether in his own country or outside it, in the wife's presence or in her absence. The divorce is executed because it is the husband's right, and he acts to effect it according to the prescribed manner. Yes.
