Obsessions Regarding Divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I am a man, and praise be to Allah, Allah has blessed me with righteousness. However, I have been afflicted with obsessions regarding many matters, including obsessions about divorce, even though I am completely certain that I have never uttered it. But Satan whispers to me about it. He says: What is your advice to me in this matter?
Answer:
Do not pay attention to Satan’s whispers, and do not divorce your wife on that basis, unless you actually utter the divorce. Mere whispers: do not pay attention to them, and seek refuge in Allah from Satan. Yes.
