Do the three divorces issued by the husband while under the influence of drug use and extreme anger count, knowing that the first two were ruled not to have counted?
Using drugs and intoxicants is a reprehensible act from which one must promptly make sincere repentance. As for the ruling on the divorce you issued, the majority of jurists hold that a conditional divorce takes effect if the condition is met, contrary to Ibn Taymiyyah, who believes it does not take effect unless divorce was intended by it, and an expiation for breaking an oath is required if divorce was not intended. The effect of anger on the validity of divorce varies depending on its severity. As for divorce issued under the influence of drugs, the preponderant opinion is that it is not valid if it reaches a state of loss of awareness, but it is valid if the man is aware of what he is saying. Since the matter is subject to scholarly disagreement, it is advisable to refer to the court and explain the matter in detail, because a judge's ruling settles disputes.
