Question<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If a husband gets close to his wife and his wife is not feeling well or is tired and she does not want to get intimate, so he tells her ‘I promise I won’t do anything or if he says I promise I won’t touch you’ By this, he means at that moment he will not have any physical contact with her. Does talaq take place by saying this statement?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are two types of talaq:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sareeh: This is when the husband explicitly and clearly issues his wife a talaq and there is no possibility of the statement having an alternative meaning. A revocable divorce will take place.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For example, the husband says to the wife \u2018you are divorced\u2019 or \u2018I issue you a talaq\u2019 etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    In this category, the intention of the husband will not be taken into consideration. [1]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Kinayah: This is when the husband uses unclear phrases or words accompanied with the intention of talaq are used to issue a talaq to the wife. A divorce absolute will occur as a result of this and the couple will not be allowed to reconcile the marriage without performing the nikah again.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      When the talaq is implicit and not clear, the intention of the husband will be taken into consideration.[2]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      In regards to your question, talaq will only take place if the husband had the intention of talaq at the time of saying such statements.<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n
