Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a husband divorces his wife and she marries another man, and then he divorces her and she returns to the first husband, is the first divorce considered valid?
Answer:
If he divorced her with a divorce less than three, and she exited the waiting period, she is separated by a minor separation. If she marries another husband who then divorces her, and she returns to the first husband, she returns with only what remains of the divorces, and the first divorce is counted against her. This is because he did not exhaust the number of divorces, so she remains [his wife]. Yes.
