Because I suffer from waswasah (whispers from the Shaytan), sometimes I do not answer my wife when she tries to speak to me, because of this waswasah or because I believe she is the cause of this waswasah. Does the fact that I do not answer her count as a talaaq (divorce)? If I speak to her angrily does that count as a talaaq?
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Al-Uthaymeen, was born in the city of Unayzah to a family in the Banu Tamim tribe, in the Al-Qassim Province of Saudi Arabia on 27th Ramadan 1347 AH (1925 CE).
