The ruling on the occurrence of divorce in cases of anger

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the head of the gazelle became severely damaged, and he only made three [divorces], or rather he said, "You are divorced, you are divorced," and he repeated it more than ten times. This excess occurred at one time as a result of his action, something he did not intend.

Answer:
Anger is of three types, as mentioned by the scholars. The first type is overpowering anger, which causes the loss of consciousness, and the person does not know what he said or what he did. This does not result in divorce by the consensus of the scholars, because he does not know what he is saying. The second type is anger in its initial stage, where the person knows what he is saying and controls himself, but with this anger, the divorce takes place by the consensus of the scholars as well, because he is a person who knows what he is saying and is aware of what he is saying, so his divorce takes place by the consensus of the scholars.
The third type is the subject of disagreement: severe anger that has passed the initial stage but has not reached the point of overpowering control and loss of consciousness. It is between the two: severe anger, but it has not reached the loss of consciousness, and it is above slight anger. This is a point of disagreement among the scholars. The majority hold that the divorce takes place, and some scholars, such as Ibn al-Qayyim and a group of others, held that it does not take place, similar to the first type, like the one whose consciousness was lost; as long as his anger is severe, his divorce does not take place. However, the majority hold that it takes place, and this is the correct view. Thus, it takes place in two cases: the case of the beginning of anger, and the case of severe anger that does not result in the loss of consciousness. It takes place in both. As for the third case, which is anger that results in the complete loss of consciousness, this does not take place by the consensus of the scholars.
