The occurrence of divorce with the intention of intimidation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, I have a friend who says the word of divorce, and his wife is actually complaining about it. Does the divorce take effect, even though he says he only wants to intimidate?
Answer:
It is not permissible to utter the words of divorce. If one utters the words of divorce, it takes effect, and he cannot say, "I did not intend it; I only wanted to intimidate." Intention is not a condition except in the ambiguous expressions of divorce. As for the explicit expression, it takes effect as soon as he utters it, provided he does so voluntarily and is not coerced. Yes.
