We have received your query regarding the issuing of a divorce in a state of sleep, our response is as follows:

The divorce uttered in a state of sleep does not take place. However, this is when a person is in such a state wherein the pronunciation of divorce is void of intent. [1]

And Allah Ta’ala knows best
