Condition-based talaq regarding "talking with love intention." Searching out of curiosity or calling for a fatwa does not break the condition.

Answer (Fatwa):

The condition your husband made is clearly linked to intention (niyyah) – “love intention” (i.e., romantic/emotional desire). Your actions were:

1. Searching for a mufti’s account out of curiosity – no love intention.
2. Talking to the same mufti for a fatwa – a legitimate religious need, not a romantic conversation.

Ruling: The condition is not broken. In Islamic law, the validity of an action depends on its intention, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Actions are but by intentions, and every person will have only that which he intended.” (al-Bukhari, no. 1; Muslim, no. 1907). Since you had no “love intention” in either act, the divorce condition has not been triggered.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) said: “The conditions of divorce are interpreted according to the intention of the person who made the condition and according to the customary meaning.” (Majmu’ al-Fatawa, 33/39). Your husband’s condition clearly restricts romantic/emotional talk or touch. A neutral, religiously motivated conversation, even with a male mufti, does not fall under that prohibition – provided you observe Islamic guidelines (no soft speech, no unnecessary mixing). The fact that you later asked a scholar (Mufti Wali Ullah) and he confirmed it is not broken further supports this.

Important advice regarding waswasa (OCD whispers): Shaykh al-Albani (rahimahullah) said: “The cure for waswasa is to ignore it completely and not pay attention to it. The more you resist, the stronger the whisper becomes; but when you turn away, it disappears.” (Silsilat al-Huda wa al-Nur, no. 240). You have already received a clear answer. Do not repeat the question or keep thinking about it – this is from Shaytan. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (rahimahullah) advised: “Whoever is afflicted with waswasa in talaq should not act upon it, and should ask Allah for refuge from the accursed Shaytan, and then ignore it.” (Fatawa al-‘Uthaymin, 2/962).

Conclusion: Your marriage is intact. There is no talaq. Focus on your faith and avoid overthinking.

References:

• Quran: “And do not make [your oaths an] excuse… and fear Allah” (al-Baqarah 2:224) – conditions are not to be stretched.
• Hadith: “Whoever does an action not in accordance with our affair (Islam), it is rejected.” (Muslim) – your actions were Islamically permissible.
• Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) in Ighathat al-Lahfan stressed that the intention determines the ruling in conditional statements.

Final Word: Let go of the doubt. You are free from any sin or divorce.
