The answer

If a person's anger reaches a level where they are unaware of what they are saying, their divorce does not take effect. However, if they are aware of what they are saying, and the divorce was made conditional on the arrival of the wife's father, then it takes effect upon his arrival, according to the preponderant opinion among scholars. Some scholars hold that if the intention behind a conditional divorce was to reprimand, encourage, or threaten, and not to bring about the divorce itself, then it does not take effect, and the person must offer an expiation for breaking an oath when the condition is met.
