She Did Not Receive the Divorce Message Because She Blocked Him: Does the Divorce Count?
Enquiry:
A brother divorced his wife by sending her a WhatsApp message. Two months later, when she was asked about it, she said she was unaware of the divorce because she had blocked him. Does the divorce count? If it does, when does the waiting period (iddah) begin?
Response:
It is obligatory to inform the wife of the divorce, because she needs to know in order to determine and keep track of the start and end dates of her waiting period (iddah). This is based on the principle:
Ω
Ψ§ ΩΨ§ ΩΨͺΩ
Ψ§ΩΩΨ§Ψ¬Ψ¨ Ψ₯ΩΨ§ Ψ¨Ω ΩΩΩ ΩΨ§Ψ¬Ψ¨
βWhatever is necessary to fulfil an obligation is itself an obligation.β

However, if the husband has issued the divorce by speech or in writing, the divorce is still valid even if the wife was not informed of it. And the waiting period begins from the time the divorce was issued, not from the time she finds out about it.
