What is the ruling regarding a man divorcing his wife six times during moments of anger, without intention, as a result of disputes and disagreements?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Divorce pronounced during extreme anger, where a person does not comprehend what they are saying, is effective. Light and moderate anger make divorce effective, by scholarly consensus. If a husband repeats the divorce using one phrase or multiple phrases, it counts as a single divorce, and the husband can take back his wife during her waiting period () if this is the first or second divorce. A Muslim must avoid uttering divorce.
