The answer

Writing a divorce () through the phone or other means is a kinaya (an indirect expression) that depends on the husband's intention. If he intended to effect it, then it occurs; otherwise, it does not. As for the divorce of a menstruating woman, the majority of scholars hold that it occurs. The spouses are advised to avoid problems and disputes to ensure family stability, especially when children are present.
