The ruling on sending a divorce letter to the wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is what some people do of sending a divorce letter to the wife in her father's house sufficient to effect the divorce?

Answer:
Yes, if he writes the letter and sends it to her, the divorce takes place, because sending it to her is evidence that he intended the divorce. As for writing alone, they say that mere writing does not effect a divorce until it is delivered. Sending the letter to her or to her family is evidence that he intended it, so it becomes a divorce. Yes.
