A Question Concerning the Triple Divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
From 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Baz to the honorable brother, the virtuous Shaykh, the judge of the Second Urgent Court in Makkah al-Mukarramah, may Allah guide him to all good, amen.
Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. After that:
O Beloved: Your noble letter, number 1187/2, dated 2/11/1391 AH, has been received, may Allah guide you. Its text is as follows: (After greetings: We have attached for your excellence the inquiry of Mr. S. A. K. We inform your excellence that we asked the wife of the aforementioned man and her father about the truth of the situation, and they confirmed the truth of what the divorcer stated. She said: "He had never divorced me before this time, nor after it. His divorce of me with three in one word was issued from him without his choice—as it appears to me—and I agree to the resumption of the marriage if a legal ruling is issued to that effect. He divorced me with this divorce two years ago, and I have borne him three daughters and a son, all of whom are alive.
This is what the aforementioned woman declared after being identified by her father and by Mr. M. S. M. Her father also declared his agreement to the reunification of the family.) End of the intended text.
Answer: Based on this, I issued a ruling to the aforementioned husband that one divorce has taken effect on his aforementioned wife with this divorce. He may return to her with a new marriage contract with its valid conditions, as is clear, if she has exited the waiting period. This is because it is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) what indicates that such a divorce is considered one divorce.
I hope your excellence will inform everyone of this and order the husband to repent from his aforementioned divorce, as it is a reprehensible divorce, as is clear.
May Allah reward your efforts and reward you with good for everyone. And peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
