Does a divorce occur with the words "Sitting on the balcony is different," intending divorce, knowing that the phrase was said after the wife's statement, "Then we won't go," in response to the husband's saying, "The weather is hot outside"?

Figurative divorce (Kinayat al-Talaq) is a word that can imply divorce or something else. However, words that do not imply divorce, such as "sit down," "stand up," "eat," "drink," and "may Allah bless you," do not effect a divorce, even if the husband intends it, because the wording does not convey divorce. Therefore, the phrase mentioned in the question is not among the figurative expressions of divorce, and divorce does not occur through it, even with intention. We advise you to be wary of obsessive doubts regarding the issue of divorce.
