Do instances of going out to shop or visit relatives without the husband's knowledge, after he has given general permission to go out, fall under the ruling of the first case in which the husband uttered the word "I divorce you"?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A husband's statement to his wife, "I will divorce you," is a promise of divorce, which does not constitute a divorce itself, nor is it obligatory to fulfill this promise. Therefore, divorce does not occur when the wife leaves the house, whether with her husband's permission or without it, in this situation. However, the wife must obey her husband and not leave his house except out of necessity.
