The answer

If a person's anger reaches a level where they lose consciousness, becoming like a madman who does not comprehend what they are saying, then their divorce does not take effect. However, if they are aware of what they are saying, then the , according to us, is that a triple divorce takes effect if they repeated the wording with the intention of effecting a triple divorce. If they repeated it for emphasis and did not intend to effect a triple divorce, then only a single divorce takes effect. If a divorce occurs and it is not yet the third, then he may reconcile with his wife before the expiry of her (waiting period). We advise caution against anger, for it is the key to evil.
