The number of divorces if the first husband takes her back after she has married another
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man divorced his wife three times, then she married another man, and he had intercourse with her. Then that man divorced her, and her first husband took her back. Does he then have three divorces left, or only one?
Answer:
If he has exhausted the three divorces, she returns to him with three new divorces. But if he still has some divorces remaining for her, he has only what remains. For example, if he divorced her twice, then she left the waiting period and was divorced with a minor final divorce, and another man married her and divorced her, and then her first husband married her, it will not be except one divorce that separates them, because two divorces have passed for him.
