What is the ruling of the Sharia regarding a divorce that occurred four times in a state of intense anger, especially since there are children involved?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless it reaches a degree that deprives its owner of perception and overwhelms his mind. If trustworthy scholars have issued a fatwa that divorce does not occur due to extreme anger, then there is no harm in acting upon their saying. If the wife has been divorced less than three times, she can be taken back before the expiration of her iddah (waiting period). It is recommended to strive against oneself to avoid extreme anger, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not get angry."
