Does a triple divorce take place if the children go to play tennis, knowing that the speaker was in a state of extreme anger and unconsciousness at the moment he uttered the word?
If you uttered the triple divorce in a state of extreme anger that made you lose consciousness, then nothing is incumbent upon you. However, if you were conscious, and the children went to play as intended, then the triple divorce has occurred according to the majority of jurists, and your wife becomes unlawful to you until she marries another husband in a marriage of desire. Ibn Taymiyyah holds the view that only an expiation for a broken oath (kaffarat yameen) is incumbent upon you if you did not intend divorce but rather intended a threat.
