Is a wife considered irrevocably divorced from her husband with a minor irrevocable divorce (baynunah sughra) based on his message in which he states that she has become irrevocably divorced from him with a minor irrevocable divorce due to her not returning to him despite a sufficient period having passed since a revocable divorce (talaq raj'i) that occurred on 10/4/2009, knowing that no contact occurred between them during or after the waiting period ('iddah)?

If your husband contacted you by phone before the ' (waiting period) ended, you have returned to his عصمة (marital bond), and attestation is not required. Your displeasure with the رجعة (return) does not prevent its occurrence. As for his message, it does not contain a divorce, and it seems he thought that the return had not taken place. You must inform your husband of the validity of the return if he is not aware.
