Does the divorce uttered by a frequently distracted husband, who spoke it while disoriented and not knowing what he was saying, take effect?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a husband utters a divorce while unaware of what he is saying, due to absentmindedness or astonishment, then his divorce is not effective. Therefore, as long as the husband does not recall uttering the divorce, his divorce has not occurred, and his word is accepted in this regard.
