What is the ruling regarding a husband divorcing his wife three times, whether separately or consecutively, while he is angry, especially given that one of the pronouncements occurred during the wife's menstrual period? And what is the marital status after these pronouncements?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Divorce during menstruation or in a period of purity where intercourse occurred is effective. The divorce of an angry person is valid unless he has completely lost his mind. Conditional divorce takes effect upon the fulfillment of the condition. Divorce pronounced with the word "three" counts as three divorces. Therefore, the wife has become irrevocably divorced and is not permissible for her first husband unless she marries another man, and he divorces her or dies, and her waiting period expires.
