Does a divorce that occurred under the influence of magic, with incomplete awareness and comprehension of what was being said, take effect?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to accuse anyone of sorcery without evidence, and the words of the healer or the jinn are not considered proof. If you divorced while conscious and of your own free will, your divorce is valid. However, if you divorced due to sorcery, being overcome in your mind, then your divorce is not valid.
