What is the ruling on touching a car again after having sworn by divorce in a state of anger?
If anger reaches a degree that causes one to lose awareness, then divorce does not occur. However, if it does not reach that point, then the oath is binding. The statement "haram and divorce" without attributing it to the wife is considered attributed to her. "Divorce" in its indefinite form is considered an explicit divorce. As for declaring something unlawful (tahrim), it depends on the intention: if divorce is intended, it is a divorce; if ẓihār (a pre-Islamic form of divorce) is intended, it is ẓihār; and if an oath is intended or nothing is intended, then an expiation for an oath is due. If he intended divorce by the tahrim, then two divorces are binding, unless he intended emphasis, in which case it is one.
