All the Fuqahaa are unanimous that Talaaq pronounced in one’s sleep is not valid. The cleric has erred in his ruling and brings to question his qualification in Shari’ah.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
