Talaaq via whatsapp

Q: My wife and I have a problem. I was arrested as my tenant was dealing in drugs, when the cops came to my place they found a dagga plant on my property and arrested me as well. This happened while my wife was in durban. While I was kept in a holding cell I made contact with a friend who came to my assistance. She when home and secured my house and came back to the station with my ID and proof of residence. This lady lives in durban and was on her way to the airport when i called her. She had checked out from her accommodation and missed her flight. She then stayed at my house for 1 night while I was locked away. On 4 Jan I was released. My wife returned to JHB on 5 Jan. i was not given a chance to explain what happened. her parents took her away and said we are separated. On 9 Jan my wife said that she is coming home, however they came with cops to take all her belongings away. I was upset and under high amounts of stress as they took both cars and left me stranded. In the days to follow my wife and i where messaging each other via watsapp. She then made statements that i was a fraudster, drug dealer, that i cheated on her which is not true. This enraged me as i could not believe what was happening, so over watsapp i told her that if thats the person i think i am then theres the first Talaaq (i also spelt it talaat) Since then her parents consulted a maulana and now i get news that we are divorced. I never spoke to any maulana and was not even given a chance to explain anything. I love my wife and I have done everything i could for her. I know that she is hurt due to the events that took place on 2 Jan The tenant got arrested again and i got word from the arrested officer that he will not get bail as he got arrested while he was on bail. I had to appear in court yesterday for my charge. My case was dropped as I called the cops on my tenant. What do I do as I dont believe we are divorced. I love my wife and do not want a divorce.

Husband saying "If you don't look after my kids, you go"

Q: My question is if a husband and wife argue, then the husband says if you don't look after my kids u go. What does it mean? Is this divorce words or just husband said in anger after he got normal love kids and wife he said if I say something to you in anger, don't take it serious. I didn't mean it because I am suffering depression and anxiety. Please guide me.

Revoking the talaaq

Q: I have a question regarding talaaq. My husband once said talaaq to me only one talaaq word, while we were having a fight. Is that considered talaq? He has said only one time. I have asked one mufti, he said its not considered talaaq. If you wish to reconcile and forgive each other within the time. So we came back together. But it makes me still feel if we are living halaal life or am I committing a sin. Once before he said once "tum mere tariff se fairgh ho" in way to let go of my life but he didn't mean talaaq. We contacted a mufti, he said to not use these words and it's not talaaq as my husband didn't mean talaaq. He swore by god that he didn't mean talaaq and neither he thought about it (this happened before he said one word of talaq). Please explain.

Issuing talaaq without the wife hearing

Q: Last night I was in bed when I was breathing I could hear talaaq. At first I thought it was noting then I did it again again. It was like I was saying the words direct but in a breath and my wife was with me but she was busy reading a book and I did not tell her this. Please help as I have heard until the wife does not hear the words, the divorce is not valid.

Suspending the talaaq upon getting in contact with a certain person

Q: My husband told me the day I get into contact with my friend either by message, call or social network, I will automatically get my 3 talaaqs. My question is I urgently need to talk with my friend. Is it possible to talk with her without getting my talaaq? If it is possible please advise how this can be done in my situation?

Ambiguous words of talaaq

Q: I said to my wife weeks ago: "I have to go" intending a kinaya divorce and she said "are you serious" and I said "yes". Days later because I was unsure whether it took place and I wanted to be sure and I said alone in a room but addressing her in my heart "I intended a kinaya divorce. You are free" So what took place now? Kinaya or Sareeh and how many times?
