Husband saying "I will divorce you"

· 19 Muharram 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

A friend's husband fought with her last night and said to her in anger that" if you ever talk to me again, I will divorce you" will the divorce be effective if she talks to him again?

Answer

He said he will divorce if she speaks to him. Hence if she speaks to him the divorce will not take place unless he verbally issues it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
