His statement, “or if the term ‘curse’ is replaced with ‘banishment’”: if, instead of saying, “May Allah’s curse be upon me,” the husband says, “May Allah expel me and banish me from His mercy,” it is not valid. The exact wording transmitted must be used. For this reason, we said that it must be said in Arabic by one who is able to do so; if one word could be substituted for another, it would be permissible in Arabic and in other languages alike.

His statement, “or if ‘wrath’ is replaced with ‘anger,’ it is not valid”: if the wife replaces the term “wrath” with “anger,” it is not valid. Likewise, continuity between the words and statements is stipulated.
