The statement of a husband to his wife: "You are like my sister"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And another says: This is an urgent message. We ask the permission of the honorable brothers to present and discuss it, because its owner came from Khamis Mushait seeking a ruling from the Shari'ah regarding his situation. He says: I divorced my wife with one divorce, and after that one divorce I said to her, "You are like my sister." All of this happened in a state of extreme anger and emotional agitation. My intention was only to discipline her; it was not my intention to separate from her. Please note that she is an orphan of her father, has four children, and is three months pregnant in her fifth month.

The Shaykh:
What follows is from the police, who issue a ruling for Khamis Mushait. In reality, the ruling must be issued after the woman and her guardian are present before the judge, if Allah wills.

The questioner:
I mean, it would be a scandal.

The Shaykh:
Believe me, if Allah wills, on Saturday. It will be at the Dar al-Ifta.
