What is the ruling on a husband's pronouncement of triple divorce, and is it considered an irreversible divorce in a state of anger, and is a wife permitted to send money to her mother from her own private funds?

An explicit divorce pronounced in a state of anger is effective if the angry person is aware of what he is saying. As for a divorce conditioned upon an event (sending money to the mother), it takes effect if the husband intended the divorce and the condition is met. However, if his intention was merely to threaten, the majority of jurists hold that it takes effect, while some do not.

Regarding the number of divorces, in the case of an immediate divorce, two divorces are effective according to the majority of scholars, unless the second was intended as an affirmation of the first. In the case of a conditioned divorce, three divorces are effective. However, some scholars hold that only one divorce is effective in both cases.

A conditioned divorce is bound by the husband's intention. If he intended a specific outcome by his oath, then the divorce does not occur unless that outcome is realized.

It is obligatory to present divorce cases to the Sharia judge for ruling.

As for the wife sending money from her own wealth to her mother, there is no harm in it, and the husband has no right to prevent her.
