Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: No, by Allah, we don't know, but he doesn't know how to speak.
The questioner: Shaykh, excuse me, I want to ask you a question.
The student: Wait, wait.
The Shaykh: My brother, tell me, what are you intending with the divorce? What is your intention?
The questioner: I intend to take her back.
The student: Is your intention to threaten or to discipline?
The questioner: To threaten.
The Shaykh: You are lecturing her.
The questioner: No, by Allah, I am not really comprehending, excuse me, my Shaykh, I am not comprehending. He is still on his way, yes, I am not comprehending at all, really.
The student: The man is still... My Shaykh, he is not committed, I mean.
The Shaykh: The important thing, my brother, is not important. The important thing is that you say you are not intending to divorce her.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh: So what are you intending then?
The questioner: I intend that I don't know, I mean, to take her back, for example, to be under my responsibility. Is that permissible?
The Shaykh: What are you intending in one word?
The questioner: It was a threat.
The Shaykh: What are you intending with your words? You said "you are divorced." What are you intending?
The questioner: Yes, I intended to threaten her, but with words she keeps making me nervous, she irritates me and annoys me.
The Shaykh: So she said, "Speak the truth, may Allah guide you."
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh: So you were in a state of nervousness and anger.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh: And when did you marry her?
The questioner: A long time ago, maybe ten years.
The Shaykh: Ten years.
The questioner: Nine years.
The Shaykh: And did you divorce her before?
The questioner: No, praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
The Shaykh: You did not divorce her.
The questioner: Praise be to Allah, and I never swore this oath.
The Shaykh: Yes, and did she not anger you all these ten years?
The questioner: No, she got angry, she was upset, but I went to my father's house.
The Shaykh: No, no, I am telling you, you, you...
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: She did not anger you all these ten years, only this year.
The questioner: No, she upset me a lot.
The Shaykh: And you did not divorce her.
The questioner: No, praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh: Good for you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: So when you said to her "you are divorced," you did not want to divorce her.
The questioner: Yes.

The questioner: May Allah enlighten you, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes, praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh: This is well known.
The questioner: Yes.
The student : It is known.
The Shaykh: Okay, so this divorce, if you took it to some of the Shaykhs, they would tell you that she is forbidden to you. Why? Because they look at your wording and not at your intention.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: So I am telling you, since you did not intend to divorce her...
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh: Then she is not divorced from you, and she is your wife as she was your wife throughout these ten years.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh: But beware of returning to this again.
The questioner: I seek refuge in Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
