Replying "Yes" if wife says "Are we divorced"
Question
There was a heated conversation between my brother and his wife in which she was asking him “are we divorced”. He was saying yes at the time not intentionally answering her question. He didn’t give her divorce or nothing. It didn’t even come out of his lips. What is the ruling?
Answer
It will be one divorce.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
