Is a divorce that occurs in a state of intense anger taken into account? What is the ruling on repeating the phrase "You are divorced" three times in one sitting, or merely saying "You are divorced" on another occasion? Does divorce take effect in both cases?

The majority of scholars hold that the divorce of an angry person is effective unless he has completely lost his mind. If a man divorces his wife while in a state of severe anger that deprived him of consciousness, such that he did not know what he was saying, then his divorce is null and void. However, if the anger did not cause him to lose his mind, then his divorce is effective. If he says, "You are divorced, divorced, divorced," it counts as one divorce unless he intended more. If he then says, "You are divorced" or "You are a divorce," it counts as a second divorce, making the total two divorces. It is advisable to present the matter to trustworthy scholars due to the details and differences of opinion surrounding it. One must beware of anger, for it is the key to evil.
