One who pronounces a bid'ah (religious innovation) divorce: Does his divorce take effect?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have Abu Fahd from al-Qassim with us. Yes. Peace be upon you. Welcome, may Allah welcome you, Fahd. May Allah preserve you and keep you safe, and may Allah lengthen your life. I am asking the Shaykh about a matter. Sami, I hear you, please go ahead. Okay, regarding divorce. There are three situations where divorce may not be permissible, and I do not know whether the divorce takes effect or not. For example, if it is during menstruation, or if it is during a period of purity in which intercourse took place. Okay. Some people say that it does not take effect, and some people say that it is not permissible but it does take effect, so I would like to inquire from the Shaykh. I will listen, if Allah wills, in a little while. Thank you, my dear brother. Fahd from al-Qassim asked about, it seems he asked about the difference between bid'ah (religious innovation) divorce and sunnah (recommended practice) divorce.

Answer:
My brother, if you divorced with a bid'ah (religious innovation) divorce, ask the judge in the court, or ask the Ifta' (scholarly legal ruling) office in Riyadh. Yes. And he asked about the situations of divorce, or is it the same thing, Shaykh? I say he should ask the judge in his country, or ask the Ifta' (scholarly legal ruling) office in Riyadh.
