The Ruling on Habitually Using the Word "Divorce" Without Intending It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner from the southern region says: Honorable Shaykh, the word "divorce" is always on my tongue. I say "I divorce you" when I enter, and I do not intend to divorce my wife, but I have become accustomed to this phrase. Is it a sin, and is there anything required of me in this matter?
Answer:
Yes, using this word is not permissible; one should not be lax with it. Do not let your tongue become accustomed to it. As for what has occurred from you while you are married, you must refer this to the Sharia court in your area, or come to the Department of Ifta in Riyadh and ask about this case. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
