The Ruling on Threatening with Divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Finally, he says: We have bad neighbors, and when we mix with them, or when my wife mixes with them, we receive nothing from them but evil and dispute. So I said to my wife: If you speak to them or go to them, I will take you to your father’s house and divorce you. My intention was to threaten her. I would like to know if, if I go to them and speak to them, does the divorce take effect or not? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer: This is a threat, not a divorce. This falls under the category of threats, a warning against visiting them. It is not a divorce, but rather a threat of divorce, and nothing takes effect by it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
