Explicit Divorce
If the husband says to the wife 'You are divorced,' does the divorce take effect even if he does not consult the religious authority?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Divorce occurs simply by the utterance, and the review by the mufti is to confirm its validity; to look at his situation during the divorce; therefore, he consults the mufti for confirmation and nothing else, and God knows best.
