The Shaykh : Yes, okay.
The questioner : If he divorces her using an indirect expression or an explicit statement, she becomes a divorced woman. However, if his intention was merely to threaten or warn her, he owes an expiation for a false oath.
The Shaykh : She does not owe an expiation for a false oath. May Allah bless you.
