Does a Shariah-compliant divorce occur if a man utters two divorce pronouncements during a quarrel and in a state of intense anger?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Anger and discord do not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless the anger becomes so intense that it leads to a loss of awareness. If a husband divorces while aware of what he is saying, even in a state of anger and dispute, his divorce is valid. However, if he utters the divorce while overwhelmed and unaware, his divorce is not valid.
