The answer

If a person who is not mute presses the number three on a phone or computer, or writes "three," intending thereby to pronounce a divorce, the divorce does not take effect. This is because it is neither an explicit statement nor an implicit one (kinaya) regarding divorce. Rather, it is closer to a gesture, and a gesture from someone capable of speech does not result in divorce, even if intended, as mentioned by the Shafi'is.
