In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
We received two emails from you. In your first email you say that you told your wife “I am giving you divorce”. In your second email you say that you told her “I will divorce you”. It also appears that English is not your first language. Please clarify the exact words you said to your wife as well as what language you said it in. You may respond to admin@daruliftaa.net (Reference – Nadeem).
