Is the utterance "You are divorced," spoken for the first time during an argument with the wife, counted as a divorce pronouncement, taking into consideration the intense anger, the state of unawareness of what was uttered, and suffering from an overactive sympathetic nervous system which increases the speed of reaction and the intensity of anger?
As long as you pronounced a clear divorce consciously, your divorce has occurred, even if it was during a state of intense anger, because an angry person is held accountable for what they utter. This is what we issue a fatwa on, and it is the opinion of the majority of scholars. We advise you to present your case verbally to trustworthy scholars.
