The criterion for severe anger in which divorce does not take effect
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This is a question received from (M. A. S.), an Egyptian national residing in the Kingdom. He asks about divorce as well, saying: I pronounced divorce on my wife while I was in a state of extreme anger, and I said to her: "You are divorced, divorced" twice. I ask you to inform me whether this divorce took effect or not?
Answer: If the anger is severe and has clear causes, such as fighting and mutual cursing, then the divorce does not take effect in the state of severe anger, according to the most correct of the scholars' opinions. This is because a person in a state of severe anger does not comprehend the harm of the divorce nor does he keep it in mind; he is similar to a delirious or insane person, so the divorce is not valid. However, if the anger is mild or the causes leading to it are not clear, then the claim is not accepted and the divorce takes effect. Yes.
