\n\tAnswered by <\/strong>Maulana Jamal Ahmed<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

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

\n\tI have received further information from the brother so to clarify <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tplease disregard my previous message.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSalaam Shaykh,<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI have a very important and urgent question. A husband and wife were <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\targuing over text and the conversation went like this:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHusband: I'm so ******* fine<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWife: Shall we continue?<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHusband: Divorce<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHusband: Divorce<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWife: Say it<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWife: I don't care<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWife: Literally done with you<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWife No way am I taking this<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHusband: Then just **** off<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHusband: You crazy *****<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWife: Say it so I can<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHusband: Ok<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWife: Believe me I want to<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWife: Am dying to<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHusband: Divorce<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWife: I'm not going to go through the shit you put me through<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWife: Ok now that's done – I have Quran in my hand as well<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI have read their conversation and spoken to the husband who said <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t'divorce' to get his wife off his back and said it after they had argued <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tover the phone. He knew if he said it a third time the message would <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tsink into his wife's head to leave him alone for a few hours and stop <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\targuing. So to emphasise his point but not for an actual divorce he said <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tit a third time knowing this would stop the argument. Further to this as <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\the was typing the first 'divorce' he said to himself 'In Shaa Allah <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tdivorce.'<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIs this divorce valid? Could you please back to me as soon as possible <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\teither via email or phone.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJazakallah<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

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

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWaalaikum salaam<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhiwasallam) said:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThere are three things which, whether undertaken seriously or in jest, are treated as serious; Marriage, divorce and taking back a wife (after a revocable divorce)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t(SunanTirmidhi, Hadith: 1184, Sunan Abi Dawud: Hadith: 2194 and Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 2039)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on the above hadith, if someone uses a clear and unambiguous word like divorce, then divorce will take place whether he intended to give talaq or not.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf someone gives talaq but says ‘inshaallah’ immediately, then talaq does not take place. But he has to say inshaallah so that someone close to him can hear him, if he says it in his mind, it has no bearing on the talaq.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen the wife said “No way am I taking this” and the husband said “: Then just **** off”. This statement of the husband could mean ‘get away from me’ or just a swear.  If he meant to give talaq with this word then one irrevocable talaq will take place.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn your case the husband said ‘divorce inshaallah’ then he wrote the word divorce three times all together, so the verbal talaq did not take place but the written three talaq took place.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
