Ruling on the occurrence of three separate instances of divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This is a message from our brother, the questioner Ahmad Salama Salman Rashidi, of Sudanese nationality. He says in his message: I divorced my wife three times. It was during the time of Maghrib prayer, and she said something to me that angered me, so I divorced her. Then I took her back because she is the mother of two children. She returned to my house, and after a few days, a dispute arose between us, so I divorced her. She came to me and said, "For the sake of my children, take me back?" So I took her back. After a few days, the same thing happened as in the first and second divorces, so I divorced her for the third time. Please advise us about this?
Answer: You must consult the court or the mufti in your country, and he will, if Allah wills, look into the matter. The basic principle is that if the three divorces are separated, there is no taking back after them, but the judge or the mufti looks into that. If you are in Saudi Arabia, you can contact us by correspondence so that we can refer you and her to the divorce judge to look into the subject and ascertain the truth regarding you, the woman, and her guardian, so that the fatwa is based on a clear matter. If you are in the Kingdom, that is the case; otherwise, if you are in another country, you can consult the court for personal status matters or the mufti in your area, and he will, if Allah wills, be successful in issuing a fatwa that conforms to the Shari'ah.
The presenter: If Allah wills, may Allah reward you with good.
