Does conditional divorce, expressed allusively and accompanied by obsessive doubts, take effect, especially if the one who made the condition believes it did not explicitly occur, but then experiences obsessive doubts about other divorces having occurred? Does obsessive-compulsive disorder affect the occurrence of divorce in these cases? What is the number of divorces that have taken effect? Is it permissible to adopt the fatwa of Ibn Taymiyyah regarding the non-occurrence of triple divorce unless it is after a رجعة (revocation/return to marital relationship)? Is it permissible for him to adopt the most lenient of jurisprudential rulings?
Divorce issued by someone suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) due to their compulsions does not take effect. The person with OCD must ignore these obsessions and pay no attention to them, seeking Allah's help and supplicating to be rid of them.
