What is the religious ruling on saying "triple divorce" in one's heart without uttering it or moving one's lips?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

As long as you did not utter this phrase audibly to yourself, it does not result in a conditional or immediate divorce. Divorce does not occur through self-talk. And assuming you did utter it unintentionally, such as a slip of the tongue, or you uttered it while absentminded, astonished, or overwhelmed by obsessive thoughts, then nothing results from it.
