She said to her husband “Divorce me”, and he said, “I agree”

Question: 11761

I asked our shaykh, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, the following question:
She said to her husband “Divorce me”, and he said, “I agree”, or she said to her husband “I want a divorce”, and he said, “I agree”. Does divorce take place when these words are said?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.

He answered, may Allaah preserve him:

Divorce does not happen by saying this.
