What is the ruling on the divorces that were mentioned, and is each one considered an accomplished fact or a declaration?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The husband's statements: "I have divorced you," and his saying to his sister: "I have divorced her already," and his statement: "I have already divorced you" are all expressions informing of divorce, not creating it. As for his saying: "By God, I will divorce you, it is my intention to divorce you," this is a promise of divorce. The intended meaning of an immediate divorce is for the husband to utter an explicit phrase like "You are divorced," and this is what effects the divorce.
