Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless it completely removes one's sanity. Writing an explicit divorce without uttering it has the ruling of a kinaya (allusion), and divorce occurs by it if the husband intended it. Based on this, the wife is divorced three times with a major irrevocable divorce, unless the anger had completely removed the husband's sanity, or he did not intend divorce by the messages. It is advised to present the matter to trustworthy scholars.
