Does a divorce uttered in an imaginary conversation with the wife's mother take effect, knowing that I suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the divorce was due to overwhelming whispers (waswasah), and the person did not utter it consciously choosing what he was saying, then the divorce is not effective. One must turn away from the whispers and not pay attention to them, and seek Allah's help.
