What is the ruling on a woman who imagines hearing the word of divorce from her husband due to obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
We ask Allah to grant you a swift recovery from obsessive whispers, and we advise you to seek refuge in Allah Almighty and to perform (Islamic exorcism) upon yourself with the legitimate incantations. As for divorce, its matter is simple, because it is in the hands of the husband, and he is to be believed regarding its non-occurrence. Therefore, turn away from all the whispers that afflict you, and seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
