The question

Is a person's fatwa to himself valid regarding the non-occurrence of divorce if the wording was not added to the woman, literally or in meaning, based on doubt about the completion of the wording or it being a mental circumambulation?

The answer

The questioner's understanding is correct, in that divorce does not occur unless it is attributed to the wife, either explicitly or implicitly. Also, the divorce uttered by a person afflicted with obsessive thoughts, even if explicit, is not effective if these thoughts overwhelm his mind. The questioner is advised to disregard these obsessive thoughts and seek Allah's help.
