Question

Is Talaaq said in anger valid? Some scholars say that it is not valid.

Answer

Ignore what the morons blurt out. Whether the husband utters Talaaq in anger or love or in joke, it is valid. Those who deny this fact are juhala

(ignoramuses). If one in anger shoots and kills a person, he will not be able to argue that he had committed the deed in anger. The deed is valid regardless of the attitude. No one issues Talaaq in the state of love. Invariably, Talaaq is administered in the state of anger. Those who do not accept the validity of Talaaq simply because it was uttered in anger, will pass their life in the state of adultery with the ex -wife and the resultant children will be illegitimate.
