Answered by: Shaykh Ahmed Bin Mohamed Umarji
Question:
I typed the D word for research purposes on google. As I was typing the word – halfway through, I got these thoughts. Am I intending to D my wife and get a scary fear in my heart? This has scared me very much as I had no intention of it. I have suffered waswasa about this as I have heard that it can take place through writing. What would be the consequence of this on my marriage to shaykh.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
There are no consequences of this on your marriage. A written divorce will only take place when a formal letter is written with the addressee’s name. Since you did not intend to divorce your wife, nor was it a formal letter addressed to your wife.
Only Allah knows best
