Intercourse with a woman after a triple divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man divorces his wife three times, and then attempts to have intercourse with her afterward, knowing that their divorce is not known to the people, is this permissible?

Answer:
If he divorced her three times, she is forbidden to him. Allah the Exalted said: “If he divorces her, meaning the third time,
And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until [after] she marries a husband other than him. And if the latter husband divorces her [or dies], there is no blame upon the woman and her former husband for returning to each otherفَإِن طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ مِن بَعْدُ حَتَّىٰ تَنكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ فَإِن طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا أَن يَتَرَاجَعَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:230]
