The ruling on divorce by intention alone without verbalizing it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and benefit you with your knowledge. In his final question, the sender, Baa 'Ayn from al-Muzaymiyah, asks: Does a woman's divorce in secret, without verbalizing it, count as a divorce?

Answer:
It does not count as a divorce unless it is verbalized. As for what one intends in his heart but does not verbalize, it has no effect and no consideration. Yes.

The presenter:
Praise be to Allah.
