Written Talaaq In The Future Tense
Question
If a person writes down on a paper that he will give his wife one Talaaq with today’s date does it count as one talaaq?
Answer
If a person writes on a piece of paper that “I am going to / I will give my wife Talaaq” (using the future tense), this will not constitute a Talaaq.
