What is the ruling on frequently uttering phrases that are allusions to divorce while ignorant of their ruling, and what is the ruling on uttering the allusive phrase: "What is between us is like Aleppo pistachios," accompanied by the intention of divorce when dropping the wife off at her family's house? And does divorce occur in the aforementioned cases?
Divorce by innuendo does not occur unless there is an intention to effect it, and doubt about the intention negates its occurrence. If the divorce was explicit and occurred in a state of anger, and scholars have issued a fatwa that it did not occur, then there is no need for doubt or hesitation, and one must turn away from obsessive whisperings (waswasah).
