Does a divorce issued by a husband in a state of extreme anger, like one who is insane, take effect? And does it count as one of the three pronouncements of divorce?
If the husband uttered the divorce while in a state of extreme anger that deprived him of awareness, then his divorce is not effective. However, if the anger did not reach this level, then his divorce is effective, and it reduces the number of divorces available to him. The questioner did not clarify the form of the divorce, nor whether he repeated it consecutively or separated it with speech or a long silence, nor whether he repeated it intending to emphasize it or intending to issue more than one divorce. So, one or two divorces may occur according to the form and intention, knowing that Sheikh Al-Islam (Ibn Taymiyyah) holds the view that repeating divorce upon divorce is not considered (to count as multiple divorces). It is advisable to present the matter to trustworthy scholars.
