According to the Hanafi perspective, for a divorce to take effect, it must be a clear and intentional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">For the first statement, the words you chose do not appear to be a clear and direct declaration of divorce. Because you did not explicitly use the word &#8220;Talaq&#8221; or make a direct statement of divorce, and your words were more of an expression of frustration, they would not normally result in a divorce on their own.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Your response &#8220;Yes&#8221; to your wife&#8217;s question about the divorce could be interpreted as confirmation. However, you mentioned your uncertainty at the time, which is important. In such cases, doubt or confusion in the heart at the time of the statement can have an impact on the divorce&#8217;s validity. When you confirmed with a &#8220;Yes,&#8221; it became a clear affirmation. Even if you were confused earlier, your next confirmation of the divorce would take effect, as the intention was clear in the final response.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The confusion you experienced at the time is understandable, but since you did confirm the divorce with your final &#8220;Yes,&#8221; it would generally be considered a valid divorce. The confusion you felt earlier doesn\u2019t reverse the effect of your clear affirmation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Only Allah knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Written by Alimah Khadija Tarwala<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u0627\u0644\u062b\u0627\u0646\u064a \u0635\u062d\u064a\u062d\u060c \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0639\u062a\u0642 \u0639\u0646\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0628\u064a\u0627\u0646 \u064a\u0642\u064e\u0639 \u0645\u0642\u0635\u0648\u0631\u0627 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u064a\u0627\u0646\u060c \u0641\u0625\u0630\u0627 \u0645\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u062e\u0627\u0631\u062c\u060c \u062a\u0639\u064a\u0651\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u062b\u0627\u0628\u062a \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0643\u0644\u0627\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0648\u0651\u0644\u060c \u0641\u062a\u0639\u064a\u0651\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0627\u062e\u0644 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0643\u0644\u0627\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u062b\u0627\u0646\u064a \u0636\u0631\u0648\u0631\u0629\u064b.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u0643\u062a\u0627\u0628 \u0634\u0631\u062d \u0627\u0644\u0632\u064a\u0627\u062f\u0627\u062a &#8211; \u0642\u0627\u0636\u064a \u062e\u0627\u0646 \u062c: 2 \u0635: 441<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatwa ID: 07877 &nbsp; Answered by Alimah Khadija Tarwala &nbsp; Question: &nbsp; Previously, I have given Talaq two times to my wife by uttering the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35381"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35381"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35434,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35381\/revisions\/35434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
