How does one determine what type of talaaq is issued?
Question
How does one determine that a person issued a particular type of talaaq to his wife. If a talaaq is used as 'I divorce you' how does the poor wife know if this is a talaaq-e-raj'ee (revocable talaaq) or talaaq-baain (irrevocable talaaq). Does it depend on the intention in the heart of the husband and if so how does the wife know which type of talaaq is issued?
Answer
Clear words of divorce will construe a raj`ee talaaq.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
