Does a Bid'i divorce, which occurred after intercourse during a period of purity and in a state of extreme anger, take effect, and are the four divorces that occurred under those circumstances counted? Is this considered an irrevocable divorce (baynunah kubra) that prevents remarriage except after another husband, or is it permissible to renew the marriage contract?
If a wife is pregnant when she is divorced four times, then divorcing a pregnant woman is a Sunnah divorce and is valid, even if it is after intercourse. If the husband takes her back after each divorce and then divorces her again, all four divorces are valid. However, if he divorces her a second time before taking her back, the second divorce during the waiting period (iddah) does not count, according to the preponderant opinion. The divorce of an angry person is valid unless his anger reaches a level where he loses his free will; otherwise, his divorce is not valid. To determine the legal ruling, the details of the incidents must be presented to an Islamic center. If three divorces have occurred, then a major irrevocable divorce (baynunah kubra) has taken place, and she is not lawful for him until she marries another husband. But if nothing has occurred, or only one or two divorces have occurred, the marriage remains valid.
