Will Allah Almighty punish a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder who experiences thoughts of divorce despite his love for his wife and his lack of intention to divorce, and are these thoughts considered whispers (waswas) or a genuine intention?

The answer

The questioner should focus on treating himself for obsessive doubts by ignoring and abandoning them, and not paying attention to them, for this has been proven effective. The divorce does not occur by what was mentioned, for divorce only occurs through an explicit utterance or an utterance that might imply divorce accompanied by intention, and none of that was issued by him.
