Does a divorce issued by a husband while he is under the influence of sorcery take effect?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

What happened to the woman is a trial. The three divorces have occurred due to your uttering the explicit divorce (talaq) pronouncement. It takes effect and does not require intention. Anger does not prevent the divorce from taking effect as long as the person is aware of what he is saying. Your intention to save the wife by uttering the divorce is not considered. We advise consulting the Sharia court and seeking ways for the woman to receive treatment through psychotherapy and ruqyah sharia.
