Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Divorce varies according to several considerations: in terms of wording (explicit and implicit), in terms of number (revocable and irrevocable -major and minor-), in terms of description ( and bid'ah), in terms of cause (it falls under the five rulings), in terms of conditionality and immediate effect, and in terms of the divorcer himself (such as the divorce of a free man and a slave). Each type has its own specific rulings.
