Are the second and third pronouncements of divorce considered valid, given that the second pronouncement was conditional upon leaving the house and with the intention of not divorcing, and the third pronouncement was uttered with the word of divorce during a severe dispute in a state of anger?
The divorce of an angry person is valid unless his anger is so intense that he loses consciousness. The wife is subject to divorce if she is still married at the time it occurs. The majority of scholars hold that conditional divorce is valid, whereas Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah believes that it requires expiation for an oath if divorce was not intended. Sheikh al-Islam also believes that divorce does not occur during menstruation or postpartum bleeding (nifas), or if it is repeated within a single period of purity, or if it occurs during a period of purity in which sexual intercourse has taken place, or before reconciliation or renewal of the marriage contract, contrary to the view of the majority. If the three pronouncements of divorce were issued while you were conscious and your wife was still married to you, she becomes unlawful for you and will not be permissible for you again until she marries another man and he divorces her after consummating the marriage. If the divorce is less than three pronouncements, you may reconcile with her before the completion of her waiting period ('iddah), which ends with purity from the third menstrual cycle, or the passing of three months for a woman who does not menstruate, or with childbirth for a pregnant woman.
