The Ruling on Divorce in a State of Anger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, Shaykh, about the phrase "no divorce in a state of anger."
Answer:
"No divorce" means that divorce does not take effect in a state of extreme anger. Anger is of three types: ordinary anger, in which a person is aware of what he is saying; in this case, his divorce takes effect, and this is agreed upon by consensus. The second is extreme anger, in which the angry person is not aware of what he is saying; in this case, his divorce does not take effect by consensus, because he has no intention or purpose in doing so. The third is anger that lies between the extreme and the mild, and this is a matter of disagreement among scholars. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim has a treatise on this, *Ighathat al-Lahfan fi Ahkam Talaq al-Ghadib*, in which he details this distinction. Yes.
