Authorizing a person to divorce his wife and his divorcing her three times

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man authorizes someone to divorce his wife and the authorized person divorces her three times, is that the same as if he had said to his wife, “Your command is in your hand”?

Answer:
It depends on the authorization. If he authorized him to divorce her with a revocable divorce, or if he specified it by saying, “Divorce her once,” and the agent deviated from that, then the divorce does not take effect, because he does not have the right to increase it and he was not given permission to increase it. However, if he gave him an unrestricted authorization, then he has the right to divorce her three times, because no limit was set for him. Yes.
