Does Divorce take place by saying “I will do it”
Question
I made a firm intention to divorce my wife and I said to myself, “I will do it.” Does this constitute a divorce?
Answer
The statement, “I will do it” of a husband to his wife does not constitute a divorce as it refers to a future time.
A divorce takes place when one issues the divorce.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
