Suspending talaaq upon the wife listening to zikr

· 25 Rajab 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I got into a fight with my wife for listening to zikr of Allah Ta'ala and it got to this that I told her that if she will listen to it again then I will give her talaaq. Then I left for mosque but when I came back from mosque I appolgize for using these words. I have used this word once before also but I had no intention of saying it, it just came out in anger. Can you please let us know where we stand and can I give some kuffara for using this?

Answer

No talaaq has taken place. However you should exercise extreme caution in regard to the issue of talaaq.

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