Swearing that his wife will be unlawful to him if he did something and then does it

Q: When I want to do something, I say within myself that my wife will be unlawful for me if I do such and such, but later I do it. Will Talaq (divorce pronounced by a husband) (Part No. 20; Page No. 101) be effective?


A: If you only think of this without expressing it verbally, Talaq will not be effective and there are no consequences for your thoughts. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
