Question:
Honorable Shaykh! If a man intends to divorce one of his wives but divorces another in forgetfulness, does the divorce take effect on the one who was not intended or meant?
Answer:
No, that is not accepted in this case. If they say, "So-and-so is the one who spoke," and they say, "It is your brother," and you understood, and I am sitting with so-and-so, he says, "No, the divorce takes effect on the one I specified or named, and his intention is not accepted."
