The issue of the angry person being like the coerced person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: From 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Baz to the honorable brother, the virtuous Shaykh M. S. A. May Allah grant him understanding in all good. Amen.
Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. After that:
O Beloved, I have reviewed your explanation regarding the appendix to my letter addressed to the brother H. M., number (431), dated 14/3/1393 AH. The text of your aforementioned explanation is as follows: "The husband, referred to as H. M., came to me, and I asked him about the circumstances of the third divorce mentioned. He stated that he was in a state of anger, but not the kind of anger that deprives one of consciousness; rather, he was excessively agitated due to the words his wife spoke to him. I also asked the woman who accompanied him, who stated that she was the wife in question, and she confirmed his statement and provided the same details." End of quote.
Answer: Based on this, I issued a ruling to the aforementioned husband that his mentioned divorce did not take effect and his wife remains in his marriage bond, provided he swears to you that what he told you is the truth. This is because the legal evidence indicates that intense anger prevents the consideration of the divorce, as it deprives the servant of self-control and the ability to consider consequences, making him like one who is coerced and compelled. Among what has been reported in this regard is the famous hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah, and authenticated by al-Hakim, from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2046Hasan (Darussalam) A group of scholars have interpreted "compulsion" as coercion and anger (i.e., intense anger). I hope you will inform the husband, the wife, and her guardian of this, and deliver this letter to the husband or a copy of it so that he may keep it. May Allah reward your efforts and reward you all with good. And may peace and the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you.

لا طلاق ولا عتاق في إغلاق
