Fatwa #1971318 January 2012Saudi Arabia

If a person utters Talaaq and repeats to himself voice is not heard by himself does Talaaq take place?

Question

Mufti sahib I would like to ask a question about Talaaq. If a person utters Talaaq and repeats to himself voice is not heard by himself and say I don’t want you and utters get out my life and voice not heard by himself and it is in heart and mind will Talaaq take place?

Jazaakallah please answer kindly.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

To merely think about Talaaq does not constitute Talaaq.[1] In your case if you had thought these words in your mind but did not mention them on your tongue, Talaaq will not take place.
