The questioner:
A second question.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
I had a wedding for my son, and guests came. I pronounced a single divorce on them, saying that they would not leave until they had dinner. After that time, they left without having dinner with us. I do not know what is obligatory upon me.
The Shaykh:
By Allah, my brother, divorce is a matter for the judge in the court; you go to him and ask him, or you send your question to the Department of Ifta' so they can look into it, yes?
