Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man says, “If you stand up or sit down, you are divorced,” and she is already sitting, is she divorced immediately, or does she have to stand up first?
Answer:
No, no. If she continues sitting, nothing happens. But if she sits down after standing up, the divorce takes effect, because she is the one who performed the act of sitting. However, if she was sitting from the time of the 'Asr prayer, that does not count.
