Are three talaaqs considered as one?
Q: I gave my wife 3 talaaq in 1 sitting. I heard it is counted as 3. Is it true? What is the real fatwa on this?
I also heard from an organisation that 3 talaaq nowadays, due to some reason, is counted as 1. It is said also due to this time and age it is counted as 1.
So please reply and give me the fatwa and explaining from Qur'aan and hadith. I need to know what Qur'aan and hadith has to say about this and at this time and age what's the rules.
A: Three talaaqs issued (whether all together or separately) to a woman with whom nikaah was consummated is counted as three talaaqs. All the Sahaabah, Taabieen, and the four mazhabs are unanimous upon this. Since you have issued three talaaqs to your wife, your nikaah has terminated and your wife is haraam upon you.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
