Pronouncing Divorce Three Times and the Ruling on Taking Back the Wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He also asks and says: Pronouncing divorce three times, is it considered one divorce or three in one session?
The Shaykh:
Does he pronounce it three times for three divorces? Is this in general, in one session or in several sessions? The issue is when the three are combined in one phrase, meaning he says, "The triple divorce is upon him," in one phrase. This is where the disagreement lies. As for three separate words, each word containing a divorce, then this counts as three in general.
The questioner:
The questioner asks: When is taking back a wife in the first divorce? How is it done? He asks about returning to his wife in the first divorce?
The Shaykh:
If the divorce is less than three, he has the right to take her back during the waiting period. He may take her back during the waiting period by words or by action. Yes.
The questioner:
And are witnesses required?
The Shaykh:
It is recommended to have witnesses for the taking back, but it is not obligatory. Yes.
