Divorce by phone

 

What do you say if a man divorces his wife via mobile phone or text message? Is she divorced or not?.

Praise be to Allaah.

If the man says to his
wife over the phone, “You are divorced” or “I divorce you,” then it counts
as one divorce (talaaq), just as if he said that in her presence, or he
said it in her absence without using the phone. 

Similarly, if he writes a
message on the mobile phone addressed to his wife in which he says that he
has divorced her, or tells someone else that he has divorced his wife, and
he intended to divorce her, then that also counts as a divorce.
