If you’re living with your husband and sleeping in separate beds and you don’t see him as a husband does it mean divorce by itself?
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.
Answer:
In the aforementioned scenario divorce will not occur as long as the husband does not issue the divorce to his wife verbally or in writing.
It is mentioned in Durrul Mukhtar:
“The main part (rukn) of divorce is the specific statement.” (Raddul Muhtar p.426 v.4)
Only Allah Knows Best
