Question: Please brief on the following questions: (1) If husband says once to his wife in anger that ''main tumko chor dunga'' I will leave you because wife was arguing a lot, the total intention was to fear her not for divorce so that she gets fear and cool down. (2) In another case while a hot exchange if husband says to his wife please don't touch this mobile otherwise 'main tumko chor dunga' I shall leave you. The total intention was to fear her not to divorce. So that she stops arguments with husband.

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 79/79/SD=02/1437) (1) In the question mentioned above no talaq occurred by the words of husband: “I will leave you” or “Don’t touch this mobile otherwise I shall leave you” though the wife touches the mobile. The word ‘will leave’ is used only for threatening not for giving talaq.
