Muwatta Malik #1298
Divorce
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، سُئِلاَ عَنْ طَلاَقِ السَّكْرَانِ، فَقَالاَ إِذَا طَلَّقَ السَّكْرَانُ جَازَ طَلاَقُهُ وَإِنْ قَتَلَ قُتِلَ بِهِ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَعَلَى ذَلِكَ الأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Said ibn
al-Musayyab and Sulayman ibn Yasar were asked about a man who divorced
when he was drunk. They said, "When a drunk man divorces, his divorce
is allowed. If he kills, he is killed for it."
Malik said,
"That is what is done among us."
