Question Detail:

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.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
