Are the words "I divorce you" (طلقتك) and "divorced woman" (مطلقة) among the allusive phrases (kinayat) by which divorce does not occur except with intention, or do they become explicit (sarihah) by adding "I" (أنا) or "she" (هي) before them?
The phrase "I divorce you" is an explicit statement of divorce, and divorce takes effect with it without the need for intention, as it contains both a subject and a predicate. The word "divorced" is also explicit if it is attributed to the wife, such as "You are divorced," as many jurists have stipulated. However, if it is not attributed to the wife, it is considered an allusive expression of divorce, and divorce does not take effect with it except with intention.
