Does the divorce issued by the husband in a state of extreme anger with the words "you are divorced, divorced, divorced" after two previous divorces count, knowing that he does not recall his intention at the time of the divorce due to the intensity of his anger, and is this considered the divorce of an angry person or a scrupulous person, and what should be done in this situation?
Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce as long as the person is aware of what he is saying. So, if the husband pronounces divorce three times, being aware of what he is saying, and his anger does not reach the point of losing consciousness, then three divorces have occurred, and she is irrevocably divorced from him with a major divorce (baynunah kubra). He has no way back to her unless she marries another man out of genuine desire, and then he divorces her after consummating the marriage, or he dies and her 'iddah (waiting period) ends. The triviality of the reason or the husband's inability to recall his intention holds no weight, because explicit divorce pronouncements do not require an intention.
