If you uttered the divorce (talaq) while being aware of what you were saying, then it has taken effect. However, if you uttered it unconsciously due to medication or obsessive whisperings (waswasah), then it has not taken effect. To treat obsessive whisperings, please refer to fatwas numbered: 52505, 86087, 979443086, and 59951.
