In 2020 I was diagnosed with schizophrenia which is a long-term mental disorder that affects thought processes, perceptions, emotions and behaviour. During that time I was admitted to the Hospital due to acute anxiety, panic attacks and hallucinations. I was diagnosed with this mental health condition and was prescribed medication<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, my condition further worsened and I was later hospitalised in my home country for severe panic attacks. This is the background of my mental health journey. Over the years my behaviour has been difficult especially towards my wife with frequent arguments over minor things which also extended to others around me.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now I have been medically diagnosed with psychosis which makes me say things at times that I don\u2019t remember later nor do I always mean what I say.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My wife asked me to take our son to the doctor to which I responded inappropriately because my mental state was unstable. I fell asleep and when I woke up I was still not fully conscious and had an argument with my wife and pronounced talaq three times. I was not fully conscious and did not have any intention to say the words. I was not in a stable mental state when this happened. As this has happened previously on many different occasions. I also have been prescribed for psychosis medicines already.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My question is: since I was not in a stable mental state, is the talaq I pronounced valid? can I make rujoo to Allah and ask for forgiveness?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><b>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Answer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Psychosis is when people lose some contact with reality. This might involve seeing or hearing things that other people cannot see or hear (hallucinations) and believing things that are not actually true (delusions). It may also involve confused (disordered) thinking and speaking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Talaq comes into effect when the husband is sane and awake. In this case, where the husband is suffering from psychosis, the Talaq will not come into effect as his condition has caused him to lose some contact with reality and say things which he has had no intention of uttering, thus he is excused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;
