following message via his cell phone: 'You were rude to me so I am giving you a divorce.'
Question
My husband sent me the following message via his cell phone: 'You were rude to me so I am giving you a divorce.'
Does this constitute a divorce?
Answer
If it is confirmed that your husband sent you the message via the cell phone, then that constitutes one Talaaq-e-Raj’ee (revocable divorce).
He may verbally revoke the divorce by saying, ‘I take you back as wife’ or by being intimate with you.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
