Talaaqs in the state of intoxication

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2017-01-29 07:53

Q: I gave talaaq to my wife. I was drunk. Is it valid? After reading triple talaq" or pronouncing divorce three times in one sitting, is invalid Islamically and should be considered as one divorce only. Therefore this would be counted as one declaration of divorce by your husband. So you are still married. I am a bit worried because I cant remember anything. Please do let me know its urgent.

A: If one was drunk and he had issued talaaq to his wife, the talaaq is valid. If he had issued three talaaqs, the three talaaqs are valid and the nikaah has terminated.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
