Does the triple divorce take place in a single session?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling in the Shari'ah for a man who says to his wife, "You are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced," when he has never done this before, not even once?

Answer:
If he says, "You are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced," and it was not intended as a hint or for emphasis, and he did not divorce her in this manner, then it counts as three divorces. She becomes forbidden to him except after marrying another husband. If he says, "You are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced," it counts as three divorces. Or if he says, "You are divorced, then divorced, then divorced," or "You are divorced, and divorced, and divorced," she becomes forbidden to him except after marrying another husband. It is not three. If he said it with awareness, meaning with intention and awareness, and not out of gratitude or because he was asked, but with awareness and in a state of intense anger, saying it in a natural state, then it takes effect. Okay. We invent the three, and she becomes forbidden to him. He pays her a dollar as compensation, he pays her a dollar as compensation.
