The ruling on the occurrence of three divorces in a single sitting
Defining the point of dispute in the issue of three divorces with a single word,Is the intention that he says: Is it "You are divorced three times" or is it "You are divorced, divorced, divorced"?!
This issue cannot be ruled on in this manner; if a specific case occurs to you, then seek a ruling.
-The question, O Shaykh, is from the perspective of education; I want to learn? -No, because what you have now are students of knowledge and common people, allow me to say it this way, and these precise issues are not ruled on publicly, meaning some scholars used to rule on them in secret, even al-Majd Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), the grandfather of the Shaykh al-Islam, used to rule that the three count as one, but in secret, so these great issues are not to be opened up like this! Have you not seen now that when the door was opened by saying that divorce may occur as an oath, the scholar now does not care,Everything that he says: If you go to so-and-so, you are divorced, even though the issue is trivial, even though the four Imams and the majority of the Ummah are of the opinion that this is a divorce, even if the intention was an oath, so now people are bold,Meaning I almost say: I rule that the three divorces are effective, because I have seen people becoming lax in this matter, and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) did not make it effective except when it became widespread among people, so in these issues the door is not to be opened like this, if you have a discussion, it is between you and me, if Allah wills.
