The question

What is the ruling on repeating the word "You are di" without completing it to "divorced" (مطلقًا), with no intention of divorce and while being away from the wife, especially since the person suffers from obsessive thoughts (waswās) regarding ablution and prayer?

The answer

Divorce is not necessitated by the utterance "anti T" even if one intends divorce; this is because divorce only occurs with an explicit pronouncement (such as: "anti taliq" - you are divorced) or with an allusive expression (kinayah) that indicates separation, coupled with the intention of divorce. The word "T" is neither explicit nor an allusive expression. The wife's distance does not affect the occurrence of divorce. The cure for obsessive thoughts (waswas) in matters of worship is to disregard them and not to pursue them.
