The Ruling on the Occurrence of an Explicit Divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s case is a woman who pronounces divorce, and her husband confirms it. There is nothing else in it. Does the divorce take effect?

Answer:
Without a doubt, if she pronounces the divorce, the divorce takes effect. Were it not for the explicit nature of the divorce, you have previously been informed that an explicit divorce does not require an intention. If the words are uttered, it takes effect, even if he says, “I am joking,” or “I am playing,” or “I did not mean it,” or whatever. That is not accepted from him, because this is an explicit expression that does not admit of any meaning other than divorce. Therefore, his interpretation of it as anything other than divorce is not accepted. Yes.
