Overcome by obsessive doubts, he divorced his wife and repeated it; does his divorce count as one or multiple?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. This is a lengthy case sent by one of the listening brothers, who indicated his name with the letters M, S, S, from Riyadh. He says: I was reading in the fatwas on divorce, so I began to act it out and pronounce it as if I were addressing my wife. It did not cross my mind to divorce my wife. Then Satan entered and began to whisper to me that since I had pronounced the divorce, my wife had been divorced from me. So doubts and obsessive thoughts began to circle in my head until I was fed up with them and the matter became severe for me. So that night I intended to cut off the doubt with certainty and divorce my wife with one pronouncement, on the condition that it be one pronouncement, and then take her back afterward. So I intended that. And I strongly suspected that I had pronounced it, knowing that my wife knows nothing about this matter, and I love her. My question is: if I repeated the word of divorce to confirm it so that it would be certain, does the divorce take effect? And is it one pronouncement? Then I ask you about that suspicion I had; what is the ruling regarding it? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
First, narrating the divorce has no effect. If you are teaching students or explaining the rulings of divorce to those present and you narrate the words of divorce, this has no effect. What befell you, as you mentioned, is from the whispers of Satan. It was obligatory for you to seek refuge in Allah from Satan. As for what you intended, which was to divorce your wife with one pronouncement and you pronounced it, she is divorced by that, because this is a divorce you effected with the intention of doing so, so it takes effect on your wife. Repeating it for the sake of confirmation does not increase it beyond one. If you repeated it or wanted to confirm it, it does not increase it beyond one. You may take her back if there was nothing prior to this pronouncement that would complete it to three. You may take her back as long as she is in the waiting period. And you must not deal with the obsessive doubts and the thoughts that confuse you in this matter and in others, and you should seek refuge in Allah from Satan. Yes.
