What is the ruling on the divorce of a person afflicted with obsessive-compulsive disorder if their compulsions are not related to divorce?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A divorce issued by someone suffering from OCD or others, if it's not by choice or if it's during a state of unconsciousness, is not effective. However, a divorce issued while aware and by choice is effective, whether from someone with OCD or anyone else.
