The answer

If you uttered the divorce (talaq) while in a state of anger that deprived you of awareness and consciousness, then your divorce is not effective and no expiation is required of you. However, if the anger did not deprive you of awareness, then your divorce is effective. And if by your statement: "Today I will divorce you," you intended a promise of divorce, then no divorce results from this. It is best to present these matters to trustworthy scholars.
