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

 <\/p>\n

I got married in Pakistan. It has been over a year now that my mother-in-law created a huge misunderstanding between me and my wife. I wrote a message to my wife on WhatsApp \u201cI will send you a divorce notice within 10 days.\u201d Then I deleted the message, as my intention wasn\u2019t to send a divorce notice. My main question is, will this be considered as a full divorce or just one?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Divorce is a serious matter and should never be mentioned carelessly. Words can have binding legal implications in Shariah and result in unintended consequences. In your specific situation, you mentioned in a WhatsApp message, \u201cI will send you a divorce notice within 10 days,\u201d using the future tense. This type of statement constitutes a promise to issue a divorce in the future. It does not automatically result in an actual divorce. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fatawa Hindiyyah mentions:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIf [a husband] says, \u2018Divorcing you is necessary upon me\u2019 it does not occur.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Similarly, statements of promise or future intent such as \u201cI will divorce you\u201d do not issue Tal\u0101q until the act of divorce is explicitly performed. However, it is advisable to avoid mentioning divorce in conversations or messages unless absolutely necessary, as even unintended statements can create misunderstandings or regrettable consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n
