Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is our understanding that by your statement: “Abhi mein tumhe talaq deta hoon tumahre ghar phone karke” you meant that you will call your wife’s parents home and issue a talaq. Elaborate what you meant and whether our understanding of your statement is correct.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
