The question

What is God's ruling on a triple divorce if the questioner told two people that he swore a triple divorce, then continued the conversation with them assuming he swore a single divorce, knowing that they understand a single divorce as a major irrevocable divorce, and he has doubts as to whether he continued the conversation intending three or one?

The answer

This question is unclear, and therefore a specific answer cannot be provided. However, a divorce by allusion (kinayah) does not occur without intention, and doubt about the intention to effect it is not to be heeded, because the original state is the continuation of the marriage. "If there is doubt about divorce or its condition, it is built upon the certainty of the marriage." And if someone informs another that he swore an oath of divorce, no divorce results from his informing. One must turn away from obsessive thoughts and beware of an abundance of questions and elaborations.
