Ruling on a man who divorced his wife three times when he was under the influence of witchcraft
Question

                What is the ruling on a man who divorced his wife three times
    when he was under the influence of witchcraft, and now he does
    not remember how he divorced her and does not know what
    happened?.
Praise be to Allah.
      For a divorce to count as such, it is
      stipulated that the husband should be of sound mind and do it
      voluntarily. If he is not of sound mind or he is forced to do
      it, then his divorce does not count as such. 
    

      Ar-Ruhaybaani (may Allah have mercy on him)
      said: The Muslims are unanimously agreed that if a person
      loses his mind and that is not the result of consuming an
      intoxicant that is haraam, such as in the case of sleep, loss
      of consciousness, insanity, taking medicine that makes one
      lose one’s reasons, or sickness, then his divorce does not
      count as such.

      It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be
      pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and
      peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There is no divorce in the
      event of coercion.”
    

      Narrated by Ahmad, 25156; Ibn Maajah, 2036.
      classed as hasan by Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy
      on him) in Saheeh Ibn Maajah, 1/348. 
    

      Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him)
      said: Our shaykh, Ibn Taymiyah, said: Coercion means losing
      one’s reasoning and understanding.  That includes
      divorce (talaaq) issued by one who is mentally challenged,
      insane, intoxicated, forced or in such a state of anger that
      he does not know what he is saying, because in all of these
      cases he has lost his reasoning and understanding. Divorce
      only counts as such when it is issued by one who intends it
      as such and is aware of it.
    

      End quote from Haashiyat as-Sunan,
      6/187 
    

      Based on that, if this bewitched husband was
      in a state where the spell or witchcraft had affected his
      reasoning in such a way that he became like one who was
      insane, then his divorce does not count as such. This same
      applies even if the spell did not reach this extent, but it
      affected his decisions and choices. In that case his divorce
      does not count as such because it is like the divorce of one
      who was compelled. 
    

      But if the spell did not affect his reasoning
      or his decisions and choices, then his divorce does count as
      such. 
    

      Shaykh Ibn Jibreen (may Allah have mercy on
      him) was asked: 
    

      Does the divorce of one who is under the
      influence of witchcraft count as such or not? 
    

      He replied: 
    

      If the spell has overwhelmed his reasoning and
      made him like those who are insane, then his divorce does not
      count as such, because in order for a divorce to be valid, it
      is stipulated that he should have formed the resolve to do
      that, because Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation
      of the meaning): “And if they decide upon divorce…”
      [al-Baqarah 2:227]. The one who has lost his mind cannot
      decide or intend to do anything. 
    

      But if the divorce was issued with
      understanding and awareness of the concequences of divorce
      and what it could lead to of separation, then it counts as
      such. 
    

      But if the spell was done to separate him from
      his wife and create hatred between them, and he could not
      find relief except in divorce, according to what Allah says
      (interpretation of the meaning): “…And from these (angels)
      people learn that by which they cause separation between man
      and his wife …” [al-Baqarah 2:102], then it seems that it
      does not count as such, because he was compelled to do it.
