The answer

As long as you have asked people of knowledge whose religiosity and scholarship are trusted, and they have issued a to you that the bid‘i divorce (innovated divorce) did not occur, and you have acted upon their fatwa, then there is no blame upon you. For whoever imitates a scholar in a disputed matter and acts according to his opinion, then his obligation has been fulfilled, and he is not allowed to revert from this fatwa in the same incident.

Therefore, there is no blame upon you for remaining under the marital bond of your husband, and there is no need for separation, nor for resorting to "tahlil" (halala marriage), as it is a false and forbidden stratagem.
