Does the divorce pronounced by the husband while drunk and extremely angry fall more than once? And what is the ruling on conveying a fatwa regarding this issue to the one who sought your fatwa?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The preponderant opinion is that the divorce of one who is intoxicated or angry is effective, unless they completely lose awareness due to intoxication or anger; in such a case, their divorce is not effective. The case of the man who inquired should be presented to scholars to clarify the ruling on his divorce, along with the necessity of advising him to repent from drinking alcohol, as it is one of the major sins.
