Does the divorce verse, "Do not expel them from their homes, nor should they leave, unless they commit a clear immorality," apply to the situation of expelling the wife from the home after the husband pronounces the oath of divorce, "So-and-so is irrevocably divorced (three times)," while in the peak of his anger?
The anger that prevents the occurrence of divorce is that in which the person does not comprehend what he is saying.
If the anger does not reach this level, then the wife is divorced by three pronouncements according to the majority of jurists, and it becomes an irrevocable major divorce (baynunah kubra).
If the wife is pregnant, she is entitled to maintenance and lodging by consensus, and she must be allowed to return to the home and be provided for until she delivers her child.
If the wife is not pregnant (hail), the preponderant opinion is that she is not entitled to maintenance or lodging. This is the saying of Imam Ahmad, as it aligns with the evidence.
The verse "Do not expel them from their homes, nor should they leave, unless they commit a clear immorality" (65:1) applies specifically to a revocable divorcee, not an irrevocably divorced woman.
