Is the divorce of a person suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder valid if he divorces his wife due to obsessive thoughts and a constricted chest, given that he does not possess pure intent in the divorce and the obsessive thoughts intensify until he divorces despite not wishing to do so?

The divorce of a person suffering from obsessive doubts (al-mawswas) does not take effect, even if he utters it explicitly, unless he truly intends it and means it with a real intention, in a state of tranquility and mental stability, because he is overwhelmed. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen mentioned that the divorce of someone afflicted with obsessive doubts does not take effect, even if he utters it verbally, if it was not intentional, citing the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) hadith: "There is no divorce in a state of compulsion (ighlaq)." Accordingly, if obsessive doubts overpower a person and he is unable to control himself and utters a divorce unintentionally, then nothing is binding upon him, because he is in the position of someone compelled.
