The answer

Divorce does not occur with the utterance "بارك الله فيك" (May Allah bless you), even if one intends it, because it is neither an explicit pronouncement of divorce nor an ambiguous one. This is the view of the majority of jurists, who hold that intention alone is not sufficient to effectuate divorce without a word that could signify it.
