Question

I was going alone with wishpers about Talaaq and recalling few sentences from Bahshti Zewer and had to say "Talaaq dia cheezain" but only uttered Talaaq out of it.

Will this cause any Talaaq as I said it mistakenly and there was no intention of divorcing my wife.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

If a person merely recalls a sentence or Mas’ala regarding Talaaq without the intention of Talaaq, Talaaq does not take place.

And Allah knows best

والحاصل أن قولهم الصريح لا يحتاج إلى النية إنما هو في القضاء أما في الديانة فمحتاج إليها لكن وقوعه في القضاء بلا نية إنما هو بشرط أن يقصدها بالخطاب بدليل ما قالوا لو كرر مسائل الطلاق بحضرة زوجته ويقول أنت طالق ولا ينوي لا تطلق
