Question:
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
Salam, this is urgent. Do any of these phrases said by my husband issue a divorce?
1.) We should get a divorce
2.) Let’s get a divorce
3.) Do you want me to take you to your parent’s house?
4.) It’s done (he was simply narrating about a past situation and was not angry and didn’t intend divorce at this time)
5.) It’s divorce (again, he was simply narrating about a past situation and was not angry and didn’t intend divorce at this time)
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh
The phrases you’ve mentioned do not constitute a divorce.[1]
Only Allah Ta’ala knows best
