Is intense anger taken into consideration in preventing the divorce from taking effect, after the husband uttered it without intention, and subsequent to the wife's insistence on demanding divorce?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Anger does not prevent a divorce from occurring as long as the person is aware of what he is saying and is not overwhelmed by his mind. However, if the anger reaches a state of unconsciousness, the divorce does not occur. But if you utter it while being aware of what you are saying, then your divorce is valid. And if the three divorces are not completed, you may reconcile with your wife before her waiting period ends.
