Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Does an oath of divorce in a state of anger and emotional upheaval, without the intention to divorce, count as a divorce? And is emotional upheaval considered coercion?

Answer:
This also requires detailed explanation:
If the anger intensified with him to the point where he could not reason, or if it overpowered him so that he could not restrain himself or control himself, then the correct view is that the divorce does not take effect.
As for ordinary anger, the divorce does take effect; because anger has three categories: anger that removes sensation, which is like that of a madman, and no divorce takes effect with it; because sensation is removed, and he does not know what he said?
The second type of anger: his anger intensified, and anger mastered him, and he was unable to restrain himself due to the intensity of the speech he heard, or the action; for example, if she insulted him and cursed him, or if they fought, and his anger intensified until he could not control himself, then the correct view is that the divorce does not take effect.
The third category: ordinary anger for some reasons, and the divorce takes effect with this according to all scholars of knowledge, and it does not prevent the divorce from taking effect, yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
