Fatwa #1805117 June 2009Pakistan

I was going alone with wishpers about Talaaq and recalling few sentences from Bahshti Zewer and had to say "Talaaq dia cheezain" but only uttered Talaaq out of it.

Question

I was going alone with wishpers about Talaaq and recalling few sentences from Bahshti Zewer and had to say "Talaaq dia cheezain" but only uttered Talaaq out of it.

Will this cause any Talaaq as I said it mistakenly and there was no intention of divorcing my wife.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful


Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh  

If a person merely recalls a sentence or Mas’ala regarding Talaaq without the intention of Talaaq, Talaaq does not take place.

والحاصل أن قولهم الصريح لا يحتاج إلى النية إنما هو في القضاء أما في الديانة فمحتاج إليها لكن وقوعه في القضاء بلا نية إنما هو بشرط أن يقصدها بالخطاب بدليل ما قالوا لو كرر مسائل الطلاق بحضرة زوجته ويقول أنت طالق ولا ينوي لا تطلق
البحر الرائق - (ج 3 / ص 258)

And Allah knows best
