Al-Mughni
Book of Divorce
Primary text
If the husband uses terms like 'you are set free,' 'you are innocent,' or 'irrevocably divorced' without prior mention of divorce or anger, the speaker is believed regarding his intention, which implies the ruling that the divorce is not effected unless intention is present.
