Three Talaqs in Intense Anger

Question

Zayd, tired after the whole day, stepped into the house and, becoming angry over something, lost the balance of his mind and, losing control in anger, blurted out these words: “تم اپنے گھر جاؤ طلاق ہوگئی، طلاق ہوگئی، طلاق ہوگئی، اب اپنے گھر جاؤ میرا تم سے کوئی واسطہ نہیں ہے” (“Go to your home, talaq has happened, talaq has happened, talaq has happened, now go to your home, I have no connection with you”).

Answer

Talaq is generally given precisely in anger; in contentment it rarely comes to that. When a person says something in anger whose result turns out badly, he realizes it and makes excuses: “I was not in control, I had lost my balance,” and so on and so forth. Yet this is not so: his reason does not vanish to the point that he no longer knows what these words (talaq)
