Does divorce occur if I swore an oath of divorce in my heart with the intention that I would not message my wife for a week, and then I became doubtful whether I had uttered the oath or not, knowing that I did not reply to her WhatsApp messages but I did write my status in the 'About' section and made it visible to everyone – is that considered a reply? And what is the ruling on my saying to my mother, "Be patient," when she asked me to marry after my wife expressed her desire for khul'?

As long as the matter is entirely self-talk and obsessions, nothing arises from it. Therefore, turn away from these whispers, seek Allah's help, and frequently supplicate Him to avert their evil from you. Likewise, there is nothing wrong with what transpired between you and your mother. For your benefit, we advise you to contact the psychological counseling section on the website.
