The answer

The husband committed a grave sin by disbelieving in Allah Almighty, because insulting Allah is an act of disbelief by consensus. Anger does not negate accountability unless it leads to unconsciousness. Therefore, he must repent and return to Islam. As for his statement, "If this happens, then you are divorced," divorce occurs when the condition is met. The wife, if she is in a revocable divorce, has the right to seek khul' if she dislikes remaining with her husband. The husband is advised to avoid anger, and the wife should avoid provoking him.
