Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
So every questioner who asks, I will do it if he says, "May Allah be pleased with Sa'd al-Din and others besides his sin," and her brother from Oman al-Din was present, so I told her: if you are present with al-Din, do not return to him. And it was a threat of peace, so does it reach the point where he commands Allah or not?
Answer:
If you intend divorce by it, then it is a divorce. This is an ambiguous expression. "I divorce you to the house" is an ambiguous expression. If you intend divorce by it, it is a divorce. It is obligatory for you to have one divorce. If you return to the house, it is obligatory for you to have one divorce to take her back. Did you divorce her twice? Yes.
