The question

Does the final divorce take effect if the husband is under a spell and divorces his wife, believing she bewitched him, knowing that he divorced her during a period of purity not preceded by intercourse, while the previous seven divorces did not take effect because they occurred during menstruation or after intercourse?

The answer

Divorce pronounced during menstruation or during a period of purity following intercourse is effective according to most scholars. If an inquirer seeks a from someone whose religiosity and knowledge he trusts, or refers the matter to a court, and they rule that the divorce is not valid, then he is not at fault for acting upon that ruling. A divorce pronounced by someone who is enchanted (mas-hoor) without conscious choice or awareness is not considered valid. However, if it is pronounced with awareness and choice, then it is effective. It is recommended to present the issue to a Sharia court or to trusted scholars and to act upon their ruling.
