The question

Is a wife forbidden and does divorce take place if the husband, in a state of extreme, unconscious anger, says to his wife, "O Sheikhah, go, you are forbidden to me," knowing that he did not intend to forbid her or divorce her, and he had intercourse with her minutes after the incident?

The answer

Your statement to your wife: "O Shaykhah, go, you are forbidden to me," contains two phrases: "go" (روحي), which is a metaphor for divorce, so if you intended divorce, it occurs; and "you are forbidden to me" (تحرمي علي), the ruling of which depends on the speaker's intention. If he intended divorce, it is a divorce. If he intended ẓihār, it is ẓihār. If he intended an oath, it is an oath. If you intended an oath, you must offer expiation for an oath.
