I had a heated argument 10 years ago in which i said in extreme anger 'go to your parents house' to my wife, intent is uncertain due to how long it was but could be that i said the words due to anger. I cannot recall the amount of times this was said at the time or if other kinayah words were used. My question is; 1. Is this talaq e bain ? 2.if i uttered the same words or kinayah words multiple times in the argument would this be multiple talaq? 3.would i need to redo nikah?



بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الجواب حامداومصليا

Saying, 'go to your parents house' with the intention of divorce, a Talaq Bain (irrevocable divorce) will occur. However, if you had no intention of divorce or you can’t remember then there will be no divorce.

If you have used an appropriate Kinaya word of Talaq with the intention of Talaq it will count as a Talaq Bain.

قال محمد في الجامع الصغير (ص ٢٠٦): وإن قال لها اخرجي أو اذهبي أو اغربي أو قومي أو تقنعي أو استتري أو تخمري أو أنت حرة، ينوي ثلاثا فهي ثلاث، وإن نوى اثنين فهي واحدة بائنة، وإن نوى لم ينو عددا فواحدة بائنة
