Does divorce occur by talking to oneself without moving the tongue, or by an unclear phrase uttered with the intention of ensuring the clarity of the wording, and not with the intention of divorce?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Divorce does not occur through self-talk (passing thoughts) nor through an unintelligible phrase, even if one intended divorce. Divorce only occurs with an explicit pronouncement or an allusive phrase accompanied by the intention and purpose of uttering it. It is advised to stay away from obsessive thoughts and to treat them by ignoring them and making abundant supplications.
