The phrases mentioned do not indicate the husband's disbelief (kufr). If an utterance that appears to be disbelief can be interpreted in a way that does not signify disbelief, even if that interpretation is remote, the speaker is not considered a disbeliever. Scholars have stated that if there are ninety-nine reasons to declare a Muslim a disbeliever, and one reason to keep him within Islam, then one should act upon the latter reason; based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Avert the prescribed punishments from Muslims as much as you can."
