Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man says to his wife, "You are divorced with three divorces," what is the stronger position? Is it considered one divorce, or do three divorces take effect?
Answer:
The majority and the school of thought hold that it takes effect. If the three are mentioned in a single phrase, this is the ruling of this school. This was ratified by 'Umar ibn al-Khattab for the people when he saw them being lax with divorce; he ratified the three in a single phrase as a deterrent for them.
