Playing with the words of divorce with the wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, this questioner says that I am lenient when I tease my wife with divorce, saying that I have divorced her in my heart but have not spoken it aloud, playing with these words.
Answer:
He utters it and says, “I did not say this,” but if he utters it, the divorce takes effect if it is explicit. It is not permissible to play with divorce or to utter it; this is serious. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

Three divorces take effect, whether in jest or in earnest, as do the freeing of slaves and the taking back of a wife.
