Q: One time me and my wife were arguing because she kept accusing me of loving another woman which was not true so I got angry and said “here’s your house keys and your car keys bye bye”. I was angry and I left the house. I wanted to go to my family’s house but after walking about 10 minutes I said to myself “why are you going to your family’s house just go back home” then I walked back to my wife’s house and we said sorry to each other. Is this divorce because I didn’t know what was my intention at that time but I didn’t want to say talaaq. So I think I was just angry but I am having waswas thinking what was my intention at that time when I said these words. I think I was only upset with her accusations and wanted her to stop.
A: This is not a divorce.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
