Does a divorce pronounced by the husband while in a state of extreme anger and under provocation count, knowing that this is the third divorce?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The ruling on the divorce of an angry person was detailed in 102243. The preponderant opinion is that his divorce is valid as long as he comprehends what he is saying. The view that his divorce does not occur if his anger is severe, even if he has not completely lost his mind, is considered valid if it is issued by someone whose knowledge is trusted.
We advise presenting the matter to trustworthy scholars and emphasize the necessity of understanding and dialogue between spouses, and warning against anger, as it is the key to evil. It was reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not get angry."
