The husband saying, “Your divorce is in your hand, one divorce”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man says to his wife, “Your divorce is in your hand, one divorce,” does that count as only one divorce?

Answer:
“Your divorce is in your hand” is a general statement. No, she has the right to choose three or one, because he did not say, “Divorce yourself with one divorce,” but rather he gave her the freedom to divorce herself, so she has authority over all three. Yes.
