Do the whisperings of deeds, words, and promises affect marital infallibility ( عصمة زوجية)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We ask Allah to grant you a swift recovery from the whispers (waswas) you are experiencing. We also bring to your attention that divorce requires intent. The mere utterance of the word without intent does not constitute a divorce. If this is the case for the word of divorce itself, then it is even more certain that divorce does not occur if neither its utterance nor its intent is present. Therefore, your divorce has not occurred by anything you have mentioned. The most beneficial cure for these whispers is to completely disregard them.
