Assalamualaikum
Is saying a short phrase without mentioning my wife in the phrase with the intention of divorce counted as Kinayah divorce under the Shafi'i Madhab?
For example: I just say
”Go"
"Enough"
"Bye"
“End”
“Separate”
According to Imam Shafii (رحمه الله) the clear words of Talaq are words that are used only in the meaning of Talaq like (طلاق) itself, release (سراح) or separate (فراق), and the derivative words from these phrases like:
“You are divorced”
“You are let go”
“I divorce you”
“I separate from you”
“I let you go”
Examples of allusive words:
“You have nothing to do with me anymore”
“You are separated from me”
“You are not related to me anymore”
“Go back to your family”
“Go wherever you want”
“Go away from me”
“Separate yourself from me”
“I’m leaving you so go your own way”
“You are haram for me”
The ruling for clear words is that Talaq will occur with or without intention. As for allusive words will need an intention for the occurrence of Talaq.
The words must be directed to your wife like the examples above. The mere use of a single word won’t constitute a meaning of divorce.
أما ألفاظ الكناية ولو اشتهرت علي ألسنة الناس في الطلاق كعلي حرام وأنت حرام فلا يقع بها إلا إذا قصد بها الزوج الطلاق
(الفقه المنهجي ٤/١٢٣)
