Can You Give Divorce in Anger in Islam? The Explanation You're Looking For

Hi all readers! Are you looking for an explanation of “can you give divorce in anger in Islam?”? If your answer is “Yes”, congratulations! Now you are reading the right article. Why? Because that is what I will explain in this article. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you should read it to the end!

Specifically, there are two important points about “can you give divorce in anger in Islam?” which I will explain in this article. Two important things I mean are as follows:

The Best Conditions for Divorce

The first important thing about “can you give divorce in anger in Islam?” what I will explain now is the best conditions for giving divorce. I want you to understand that first before you read more explanations in this article because it is one of the important topics in this article that some Muslims don't understand very well.

In general, we understand “best conditions” as a person's psychology. Likewise, the discussion of "the best conditions for giving a divorce". So, in simple terms, I want to say that the discussion about "the best conditions for giving a divorce" is a discussion about the best conditions for a husband to give a divorce and the best conditions for a divorced or divorced wife.

Maybe now you are wondering, "How to understand the best conditions for a husband who gives divorce and the best conditions for a divorced or divorced wife?".

I personally have not found an explanation of "the best conditions for a husband who gives divorce and the best conditions for a wife who is divorced or divorced" specifically. But we can understand that if we have understood the rules of divorce in Islam.

In Islam, there are two rules for divorce:

1. The husband who gives the divorce is the husband who is mature (baligh), understands that it is a divorce, and is not forced unless the one who forces it is the court.
2. The divorced wife is not menstruating and not after sex.

The first rule is what explains the best conditions for a husband who gives divorce. While the second rule that explains the best conditions for the wife who accepts divorce or who is divorced. That is the best condition for giving a divorce.

That's a brief explanation of "the best conditions for giving divorce". As Muslims, we must understand that.

Can You Give Divorce in Anger in Islam?

The second important thing about “can you give divorce in anger in Islam?” what I will explain now is a complete explanation of the topic in our current discussion. I want you to understand that very well because it is one of the important discussions about divorce in Islam that some Muslims don't understand very well.

Before I explain the specific answer about “can you give divorce in anger in Islam?", I want to quote me a hadith about divorce in anger which is specifically related to this discussion:

Hadith About Divorce in Anger

As for the hadith about divorce in anger, what I mean is as follows:

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ قَالَ : لَا طَلَاقَ وَلَا عَتَاقَ فِي إِغْلَاقٍ

From Aisha radliyallahu anha, that the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, "There is no divorce and freeing (freeing slaves) in a closed state."

All readers! That's the hadith about divorce in anger that we must understand. There is one important thing about the hadith that I want to explain here, that there is a difference of opinion about the meaning of the phrase "in a closed state (إِغْلَاقٍ)" in the hadith:

1. Ash-Shafi'i, Masruq, Ahmad, Abu Daud, al-Qadli Ismail explained that what is meant by "in a closed state (إِغْلَاقٍ)" is anger. So, divorce is invalid in a state of anger.
2. Some Islamic jurists explain that what is meant by "in a closed state (إِغْلَاقٍ)" is madness. So, divorce is illegitimate in a crazy state.
3. Several other Islamic legal experts explain that what is meant by "in a closed state (إِغْلَاقٍ)" is forced. So, divorce is not valid in a state of necessity.

So, "can you give divorce in anger in Islam?"

If we understand the three explanations above, we can conclude that the majority of Islamic jurists are of the opinion that what is meant by "in a closed state (إِغْلَاقٍ)" is anger. So, divorce is invalid in a state of anger. So, in general, we can say that “you can give a divorce in anger”.

But there are differences of opinion about the anger that can make a divorce valid and invalid:

1. If a husband is very angry and he does not understand what is being said, then divorce is invalid in such anger.
2. If a husband is very angry and he understands what is being said, then divorce is legal in such anger.
3. If a husband is very angry but he is still conscious, if he gives a divorce in such anger, then the chances of a valid divorce are greater.

That's a brief explanation of "can you give divorce in anger in Islam?" and some important things about it. Do you understand? If you want to ask, please ask!

I think that's enough for this article. Hope it is useful. Amen.
