The question

Does a divorce take place in the following cases: when saying "you are divorced" in a moment of anger without being able to determine its intensity, and when divorcing is made conditional on returning home within a specific period and exceeding this period by a little, and when saying "you are divorced, divorced" after a severe quarrel and uttering a prophetic hadith in a calm voice, knowing that the word for divorce was pronounced with a hamza "ṭāliʾ" and not with a qaf, and is saying "I have taken you back into my عصمة (bond of marriage)" sufficient for reconciliation without witnesses? And are phrases such as "everything between us is over" or "our living together is not right" considered a divorce?

The answer

If you uttered a clear statement of divorce, being aware and in control of your faculties, then your divorce has taken effect, even if it was during a state of extreme anger. The two clear divorces are effective, and the suspended triple divorce has taken effect due to the wife's delay in leaving for more than half an hour, provided your intention does not contradict the apparent meaning of your words. Thus, your wife has become irrevocably divorced from you (major separation), and she is not lawful for you unless she marries another man. This is the opinion of the majority of scholars. As for phrases like "everything between us is over," these are ambiguous expressions; if you intended divorce by them, it takes effect, otherwise not. Anger is the key to evil, so beware of it.
