The answer

The phrases mentioned in the question do not indicate divorce, and divorce does not occur by them according to the Shafi'is and Hanbalis, even if intended. The intention of divorce works with words that resemble it. As for the Malikis, they hold that divorce occurs with any word by which it is intended, even if it were "give me water to drink." However, the madhhab of Shafi'i and Ahmad is stronger. We advise consulting the Sharia courts in divorce cases because the judge's ruling resolves disagreements, and we also advise against rushing to utter divorce pronouncements.
