If the husband pronounces the divorce explicitly to his wife, such as saying to her that you are divorced or divorced, and so on, then he is effective even if he does not intend the divorce.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Divorce can be explicit (Sarih) such as saying, &ldquo;I give you Tal\u0101q&rdquo;. The second is implied expressions( Kinayah). In the second type divorce only takes effect by the implied expression with intention or with immediate indication.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">If there is an immediate indication of divorce such as saying, &ldquo;go into waiting&rdquo; or &ldquo;Seek to keep your womb free&rdquo;, then one revocable divorce takes place.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Also, people should bear in mind that how the language is used in different cultural settings will have an impact on whether the divorce has taken place or not. If &ldquo;go bye-bye&rdquo; is an expression used to imply divorce in your cultural setting, then a revocable divorce would have taken place.&nbsp; I would like to remind you that issuing Tal\u0101q is not a joking matter and therefore, people should be careful in what they say.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Reference:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Bada&rsquo;i al-Sana&rsquo;i Fi Tart\u012bn al-Shara&rsquo;i, Vol.7, p.182, Dar al-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Only Allah knows best<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Written by Imam Abdul-Malik Sheikh<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:54.0pt;\">\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatwa ID: 04256 Answered by:&nbsp;Imam Abdul-Malik Sheikh &nbsp; Question &nbsp; Assalamu Alaikum.
