Q: I want to ask a question relating to divorce. Actually I went through a certain situation of argument with my mom in front of my wife where I told my mom unintentionally that if you think I am not good with you after marriage I will divorce (talaaq) her and be good with you. But this statement was unintentional and just meant to make my mom realize that I am not changed. Whats the ruling of this?
A: No talaaq has taken place. However, you should avoid making these type of statements.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
