Does divorce occur with doubts about uttering it and conditioning it on returning to work, or is the wife still under the husband's marital bond?

As long as you are doubtful about uttering the divorce, and not certain of its occurrence, your wife remains under your marital bond. Do not pay attention to these doubts, because the original state is the continuation of the marriage, and it is not removed by doubt. Al-Majd Ibn Taymiyyah said: "If one doubts about divorce or its condition, it is built upon the certainty of the marriage." We advise you to turn away from obsessive thoughts regarding divorce and other matters, and not to pay attention to them, for indulging in obsessive thoughts leads to great evil.
