Does a divorce occur by saying, "Consider it a divorce," with the intention of ending the discussion, or by the wife saying, "I will consider it a divorce," and is this considered a delegation of divorce?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The husband's statement to his wife, "Be cautious and consider it a divorce," and the wife's statement, "I will consider it a divorce," do not constitute a divorce, as this is neither a delegation nor an authorization for divorce.
