Does a triple divorce, issued in a moment of intense anger, take effect, especially given that the wife was menstruating and had not been divorced previously?

The answer

If you utter a divorce statement while in a state of extreme anger that deprives you of awareness, then the divorce does not occur. However, if you were aware of what you were saying, then it has occurred. Divorcing a menstruating woman is prohibited, but it is valid according to most scholars. If you repeated the words of divorce and intended the repetition, then three divorces occur, and your wife becomes irrevocably divorced from you (baynunah kubra). However, if you did not intend repetition but rather emphasized or had no specific intention, then only one divorce occurs.
