What kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder (the ordinary or the compulsive classified by specialists) does not necessitate apostasy or divorce, and must apostasy and divorce be entirely free of obsessive-compulsive disorder for a ruling to be issued concerning them?
What emanates from the person afflicted by waswas (obsessive thoughts) — such as uttering a divorce pronouncement or words of apostasy — does not result in divorce or apostasy if he is overcome by his intellect and not choosing what emanates from him in terms of speech or action. However, if it emanates from him by his choice, then he is accountable for it. As for waswas alone concerning matters of faith, without accompanying speech or action, it does not lead to apostasy as long as the person dislikes these thoughts.
