· 5 Jumada II 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What is the status of a persons marriage if he gives his wife 3 talaqs whilst intoxicated? Does it change if he was forced or unknowingly became intoxicated? Is the consensus amongst all imaams?

Answer

The talaaqs are valid.

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