Question : Yes. Yes. Yes.
Answer : What can render her forbidden to him, meaning if he divorces her three times all at once, he is not permitted to do so according to the stronger opinion. Yes, according to al-Bukhari it is permissible. Cristiano Majid. No, absolutely not, but the third divorce is one, and it became a prohibition by being added to the two previous ones. As for if he says, "You are divorced three times," and intends to make her forbidden to him all at once, it is forbidden for him. And al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) meant the separation, in that the wife becomes forbidden if he divorces her three times, and it is not possible to say that food is forbidden; one does not say, "The food of Halal is forbidden." It is said to him, "Yes," but it is not said that the food of Halal is forbidden as long as it is Halal. However, if it is described with a description that necessitates its being made permissible, it is called forbidden. And it is not said of the wife that Halal is forbidden until she is characterized by what was mentioned.
