Intercourse during iddat

Q: My husband gave me one talaaq a week ago but now it just so happened that we had intercourse again. I want to know is the talaaq still valid and if we are still divorced because he said that sleeping together after the talaaq does not mean we are married again.

A: It is valid and by you getting together the talaaq has been revoked though it is counted.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
