Does a divorce issued by the father in a state of extreme anger count, while he was seeing blood as a result of a fight between his children, knowing that he had previously divorced my mother twice and is over sixty years of age?
If a husband says to his wife: "You are divorced, divorced, divorced," and he intended one [divorce] or had no intention, then it is a single divorce. If he intended three, then it is three. Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless it removes consciousness. His statement to his wife: "If you leave the house, you will be divorced," followed by her leaving, causes the divorce to occur, even if he did not intend it. This is the view of the majority of jurists. And with this, the major separation (al-baynunah al-kubra) has occurred between them. It is important to be aware of the danger of Satan in sowing discord and separation among relatives.
