Does a divorce issued by the husband in a state of extreme anger count, where the husband uttered the words: "You are divorced," and repeated it twice, then followed it by destroying some of the wife's property and wedding photos?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman is not permitted to leave without her husband's permission. Destroying property is forbidden, and what happened from you due to anger is the best proof of its danger. Writing a divorce is one of its allusions (kinayat), and divorce does not occur by it except with intention. An angry person is held accountable for their actions unless they are unaware of what they are saying. We advise reconciliation and rectification if a divorce has occurred and there has been no major separation (baynunah kubra).
