What is the ruling on a divorce that was verbally delegated and then canceled, and its procedures were not completed, and what is the ruling on cohabiting with the wife thereafter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
As long as you did not utter the divorce of your wife, but intended to divorce her and appointed someone else to divorce her, then cancelled the agency before the divorce procedures were carried out, then your wife remains under your marital bond, no divorce has occurred, and your intimacy with her is permissible.
