The Words and metaphors words for divorce

Updated: May 18

First: the words of divorce

Divorce words are divided into two categories: explicit or euphemistic.

The Explicit divorce words:

The word explicit divorce is the word that is understood from the meaning of speech when pronouncing it, It is not possible other than divorce, and that is like: You are divorced, I divorced you, you are divorced, and everything that is derived from the term divorce, and this takes place in divorce according to many scholars; this is due to what Abu Dawood narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: ((There are three things whose seriousness is serious and their ridicule is serious: marriage, divorce, and taking back.)) (Hassan hadith) (Sahih Abi Dawood; by Al-Albani, Hadith 1920).

Secondly: The metaphors for divorce

They are the words that bear divorce and others. For example: follow your family, get out of the house, I command you in your hand, you are free, I let you go, I left you, go and get married, with these expressions and the like, divorce does not take place except with intention, so if the husband intended to divorce, then it takes place as divorce, and if he did not intend to divorce, then it does not take place, and this appears to be an option.

Imam Bukhari; (Fath Al-Bari, by Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani, vol. 9, p. 282)

The Sheikh: Amr Abdel Moneim Selim (may God have mercy on him) said: The lesson in that is the knowledge of time and place, some euphemisms may be among the explicit words that are intended for divorce by some, From the people of a certain time or place, not explicit to others; (The Comprehensive in the Rulings of Divorce, by Amr Abdel Moneim Selim, p. 50).

Al-Bukhari narrated on the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, that when the daughter of Al-Jun was admitted to the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon her peace and blessings be upon him, and he got close to her, She said: I seek refuge in God from you. (Bukhari, Hadith 5254) He said to her: ((You have sought refuge with a great, follow your family)). (Bukhari, Hadith 5254).

The two sheikhs narrated on the authority of Ka’b bin Malik, “When the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and his two companions deserted him;

for their failure to go out with him to the Battle of Tabuk, He said: Until forty of the fifty nights have passed, when the Messenger of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, comes to me, He said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, commands you to keep away from your wife, I said: divorce her or what should I do? he said no; Rather separate from her, and do not approach her, and he sent a similar message to my friend, so I said to my wife: Join your family and be with them until God decides on this matter. (Bukhari Hadith 4418/ Muslim Hadith 2769)

Looking at the previous two hadeeths, we find the word: “follow your family.”

In the first hadeeth he intended

The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, called for divorce, and it was a divorce, and as for “follow your family”

In the second Hadith

And it is the hadeeth of Ka’b bin Malik, when he said to his wife: “Go with your family.”

he did not mean a divorce; Therefore, this is no longer a divorce, Abd al-Razzaq narrated on the authority of Muammar on the authority of Qatada, about a man who said to his wife: You are free, He said: If he intended a divorce, then it is a divorce. (Its chain of narrators is authentic) (Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq, Vol. 6, No. 11199.
