The questioner: We see many young men, whether they are single, engaged without consummation, or proposing without a contract; we hear them swear using the phrase: "I divorce you" more than once; does this mean it is counted against him, or what? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: What? Does it become what?
The questioner: Does it count as a divorce against him?
The Shaykh: And he is not married?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: No, nothing is counted against him.
The questioner: Engaged without consummation.
The Shaykh: Engaged but did not consummate?
The questioner: Did not consummate.
The Shaykh: If he divorces while he is married, she is divorced, but this should be looked at to see how his divorce was; if it was as you said, it is an oath and not a divorce; whether he consummated or not.
The questioner: Meaning he swears more than once.
