What is the ruling on tearing one's garment out of anger, what is its expiation, and is it a blameworthy act?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a man tears his clothes while being aware of his actions, this is a forbidden and blameworthy act. Expiation for it is through sincere repentance, and he should follow the transgression with a good deed that erases it. However, if he does so due to intense anger that causes him to lose his mind, then he is not sinful.
