What is the ruling on a husband divorcing his wife with a triple divorce while he is drunk and angry, and does the divorce of one who is drunk or a divorce issued during a period of purity in which intercourse has occurred count? And does it count as one divorce or three, and is an expiation for an oath incumbent upon him?

There is a jurisprudential disagreement regarding the ruling on the divorce of an intoxicated person, with the majority deeming it effective. As for the divorce of an angry person, it is effective unless they lose consciousness. The innovative divorce (bid'i talaq), given during a period of purity when sexual intercourse has occurred, is effective, and this is the view of the majority. There is also a disagreement concerning a triple divorce, whether it counts as three divorces or one, and the majority issues fatwas that it counts as three divorces. Your husband's contradictory statements indicate his awareness, and Islamic centers or scholars should be consulted. The husband is advised to abandon alcohol, and if he did not divorce after his oath of divorce, he must offer expiation for a broken oath (kaffarat yamin). The stability of the family is among the noblest objectives of Islamic law.
