Is merely saving pages containing messages of separation and abandonment on the computer, without sending any of them to the wife, considered among the allusions to divorce that depend on intention?
All expressions that denote separation but are not explicit about it are considered allusions to divorce. This includes writing such expressions on a mobile phone, computer, or paper. However, such a divorce does not take effect unless the expression is attributed to the wife with the intention of effecting a divorce. Saving a message containing words of abandonment and separation is not considered an allusion to divorce, and divorce does not occur by it, even if the person saving it intended to effect a divorce. This is because it does not signify separation and is not attributed to the wife. It is similar to buying a book or copying pages. The questioner is advised to stay away from such thoughts to avoid obsessions and doubts, and to limit oneself to reading and copying what is beneficial, and to avoid messages of love and infatuation because they incite instincts and desires.
