The answer

Pronouncing a divorce while angry does not prevent its occurrence, as long as the husband uttered it voluntarily and was aware of what he was saying. If you divorced your wife while in a state of extreme anger that made you lose awareness and overwhelmed your mind, then your divorce is not valid. However, if you were conscious and not overwhelmed in your mind, then your divorce has occurred. And since this pronouncement of divorce completes the three, your wife has become irrevocably divorced from you (major irrevocable divorce). You have no way back to her unless she marries another man willingly, not for the purpose of making her lawful for you (tahlil marriage), and then the new husband divorces her after consummation, or dies, and her ' (waiting period) from him expires.
