Question:
If the husband gives talaq in the state of alcohol addiction is that talaq valid?
Country: India
Answer:
Wa alaykum salam wa rahmatuLlahi wa barakatuHu,
We understand that what is intended in the question to be that a husband issues a talaq while he is intoxicated from drinking alcohol. If he issues a talaq in this state, the talaq has happened. (Nihayat al-Muhtaj v. 6, p. 424)
And Allah knows best.
