The answer

The phrase "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest) is not considered an allegorical expression of divorce, and divorce does not occur by uttering it, even if the husband intended it, according to the majority of scholars. This is because an allegorical expression is a word that can signify both divorce and something else, whereas "Allahu Akbar" does not signify separation.
