Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is our understanding that by your statement: “Abhi mein tumhe talaq deta hoon tumahre ghar phone karke” you meant that you will call your wife’s parents home and issue a talaq. Elaborate what you meant and whether our understanding of your statement is correct.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
