Does a divorce issued by the husband with the words "You are divorced, divorced, divorced, and by Allah, I have divorced you" three times while he was in a state of anger take effect, knowing that he had previously threatened divorce due to alimony, and is this considered a revocable or irrevocable divorce, and what are the necessary procedures to be taken?
If the husband intends, by repeating the word "divorced," to initiate a divorce with each utterance, then according to the majority of scholars, three divorces are counted, and according to some, one divorce. As for his statement, "If you do not do such-and-such, I will divorce you," this is a promise of divorce and does not constitute a divorce. It is necessary to consult a Sharia court or an Islamic center to clarify the matter.
